Werner is with me Memory

A quick flash of lying on a bed propped up by my right elbow. Werner is sitting next to me. The room is not very bright, but I get the impression that it is late afternoon or early evening and we are in a room where several men sleep. I lean over to him with my left hand reaching to cup over his left ear. He leans over and I whisper something to him. He looks at me, smiles, and the laughs.

We then look over at someone across the room. I can't see him, but I know he is there. Someone strides over to us, dressed fully in uniform with cap on. He looks very sharply pressed. Not a wrinkle on him. He stands in front of us with his hands on his hips and says something to us. We just sit there and smirk at him. I think this annoys him. He drops his hands to his side and spins to his left and goes out to the door. He opens it and walks out.

More light spills into the room. The floor is wooden planks and has a hollow sound when walked upon, as if there was a space between the floor and ground. It looks like it could be a late cloudy afternoon or early evening.

I sit up and look at Werner who is still sitting on the edge of the bed that I was lying on. The man has out door open. I get up and walk over to the door an shut it. I look at Werner and he and I both laugh. I get the impression that we have some kind of joke going. Werner leans back on my pillow with his elbow and says something. I seem to be in a pacing and scheming mode of thought. I get the impression that we are planning something or trying to figure something out. This must be while we were in Jasta 2.

I finally sit down at the end of my bed, which by the way is a single bed. I think the room has about six or so of these beds. I can see a window that is opposite of the wall where the door is. Each man had a foot locker that he kept by his bed. Some had theirs at the foot of the bed and others along the wall.

Werner sits up. he looks restless as if we need to find something amusing to do. He looks bored. Actually, I think I am feeling restless myself. He says something. I think he is suggesting something to do. He gets up and puts his cap on and I get up and pick up my hat also.

We go out the door. The sky is white overcast and it has been raining. It must be daytime. Just very overcast. The ground is moist but not mushy muddy. The air is cool and damp. Werner is with me.
