It was on the 17th of October, 1996. I remember I was ill since a week, so I couldn't go outside of my house. I used to live in a little village in the south of Germany, not far from the French border. I had only recently birthday, a few weeks back. I was 15. I normally didn't watch the neighborhood, but I was bored and the batteries for my Gameboy were empty. So I used to watch the neighborhood for some days.
