Suddenly I felt gulty as well; my heart went tightened; I tried to say some apology but a
               saver penumbra eclipsed my consciousness, submerging me in a deep dream.

                      I’ll try to to abbreviate the details of my unfortunate intromission in the life of Uncle
               Kurt. It’ll be a concession in favour of other things that I want to put at the reader disposition,
               for the  better interpretation  of this strange story. Because if someone had the idea that all
               what occurred to me until then was more than enough to cover a quota of mysterious events,
               I’ll tell that you’re wrong for long. To this adventure were missing many important things, I’d
               say that it was just starting, and if the notable «causalities» had chased me up to there, what
               would come next was not to it in the rear. Because Uncle Kurt had a story to tell. A so offbeat
               and  strange  that  considered  itself  results  unbelievable  ;  but  that  I  had  to  take  with  great
               respect, beause «that» story was part of «my» own story.

                      But don’t get us ahead. The day in which I opened the eyes, and I saw Uncle Kurt for
               second time in my life,  was the  next to the night of my  unfortunate incursion through the
               ranch. Since some fifteen hours that I remained unconscious before the expectation of Uncle
               Kurt, who feared to have produced me a grave cerebral lesion.

                      The strike, struck by the butt of a pistol Luger, had been devastating and, according to
               Uncle Kurt, had to give thanks for the salvation of the abnormall hardness of the skull or to a
               miracle.

                      Why  this  security?  Because  he  had  beaten  me  strongly;  according  to  his  words;  the
               enough as to kill the intruder. This violence was due to Uncle Kurt was expecting an attempt,
               an attack from one moment to another.


                      He had motives to believe it, as will be seen, and to the bad fortune –or another cause–
               He wanted for me to have the ill-fated idea to realize the suspicious nocturnal visit.


                      In a first moment, after be sure that there were no more intruders, Uncle Kurt dragged
               me to the house and checked my pockets searching for weapons and identity elements. With
               the  surprise  that  is  to  be  supposed,  he  found  the  Iron  Cross  –His  medal–,  the  letter  of  my
               Mother and the documents and lecenses that properly proved my identity.

                      According to Uncle Kurt, he’d have committed suicide right there if it was not for that I
               was inexplicably breathing. His first reaction was  to seek  for help, but, conscious about the
               irregular of the situation, he decided to be extremely cautious with the finality to avoid the
               police intervention. For that purpose, would  result inconvenient to call an unknown  doctor
               who could put him in trouble.
