I think I like this version. I incorporated some of Mo's suggestions, and it's up to 7100 words. Which is a lot for me, because short stories are hard. I want to submit it shortly after the new year, around the 3rd or 4th, so if you've got the first draft and haven't gotten me your comments, let me know if you want the new version. Also, if you could get me comments by the 2nd, that would be awesome.
The first entry is longer by a lot, and there are some more details.
Also, please, if any of my German friends are willing to give this a read-over for early GDR stuff, let me know. I've poked around wikipedia and googled some stuff, but I don't want to have someone be like, "pff, you could totally get Milka in the GDR in 1961" or whatever.
