        CHAINS: [Don't] let go!

        by Johannes Wiedlich

        A novel for young adults about friendship and enmity, and how closely allied these two can be.   Snow white? What? Bite me! I was expecting idiots, not the blue-haired pestilence. I was expecting conflict, not a battle for my sanity. So what did my past teach me? [Nothing!]   Matthew moves into a shared apartment for an exchange semester that couldn't be more annoying. His roommate Sirin turns out to be an obsessive-compulsive domestic dragon already within the first week. You can get along with Robert quite well, but you can't expect any backing from him, and Karla mainly is conspicuous by her absence. But Luka seems the worst. The guy who doesn't follow any pattern, doesn't play by any rules, and obviously enjoys pushing Matthew to his limits repeatedly.

        CHECK: get up, stay alive, go to bed.

        by Johannes Wiedlich

        Jimmy. Call me that. The name is okay.... or ... sure, just ignore me. All idiots! Sometimes the whole world is annoying me. You say something, you aren't listened to. You want to be left alone, everybody is bugging you to talk. Apparently, most people live on the same planet as me, but not in the same world. Or maybe I live in a bubble. So here I am - lying in my sleeping coffin - ignoring my sister who's knocking on the door because she's worried again for completely no reason, and I wonder ... Jimmy is a young adult with a whole bunch of problems. He feels abandoned in a world in which he is only slightly interested. Alcohol, drugs, and self-harming behavior are on the daily agenda. Only a few people still get through to him, but he keeps pushing these away too.
