"As if a black hole opened up that could swallow me at any time"

It all started on a summer's day three years ago when I drove from Munich to Dresden in my convertible. I was working for a large advertising agency in Dresden and had come from an appointment with a client. Everything had gone according to plan, the weather was gorgeous, I turned up the music and drove fast, as usual. I felt free. I had become the manager of an agency, was fired, but immediately found a good job again.

At some point along the way, questions began to shoot through my head, always the same two or three, faster and faster: Do you sometimes feel insecure because you used to be teased? Can it be that you feel bad because your mother was a slut? Is that why you sleep with woman after woman, but none that you're seriously interested in?
