We are Paula and Paul Vorrenne.
We tell stories, tales. These tales are extraordinary: we start them, but it’s up to you, how it will be continued!
Let’s get into the story:
She’s been hitchhiking on her own for three weeks now, and she’s really getting into it. Now that she’s finally on the road, she’s put all the crap behind herself and finally feels free. At first she tried her wings in safer countries, but by the end of the second week she got the courage. The drivers are all nice to her – maybe because she’s still good-looking? Or just because she’s a woman? Who knows. On the last border crossing, the border guard warned her not to hitchhike, but she ignored him.

She doesn’t even notice they’ve long since left the main road. The car slows down, then stops in a dark doorway at the last houses in a village, the headlights off. – “You’re coming with me now,” says the driver in perfect English with smiling no more. She immediately senses that this could be trouble, but she is also driven by curiosity. She listens to her women’s intuition, searching for the inner voice to tell her what to do:
