I don’t want to fall in love. Love scares me. I adore rom coms, but in real life, the thought of love and relationships genuinely makes me feel sick! But if I ever want to fall in love, I want it to be to Hozier’s ‘From Eden’. And I want my heart broken to Garden City Movement’s ‘Move On’. Because someone always gets their heart broken. And if I ever fall in love, it will probably be mine.

It was my birthday, I was turning seven I believe. It was a beautiful day, sunny, warm and a nice breeze. Family and friends had gathered for me but probably most for the cakes. I received lots of breathtaking presents, everything unique in its own way but most importantly and my favorite one was the rainbow patterned vans. I was as happy as I could be, had never been happier about a pair of shoes, running around for hours afterwards.
The cakes, amazing as always when mother creates them, no one is left hungry.
Some time after hell erupts from underneath clenching my body, psychologically breaking me, we could also call it first day of school. I walk in proud of myself and everything I am. I’m shy, small and don’t really know that many people. The second everyone sees my shoes I’m put in the ground by everyone’s words, one of the worst days of my life. That day I never put those shoes back on.

Story #119

Bastun var färdigvärmd för kvällens första familj på Botbygårdsvägen 1. Av de femtiotal familjer som bodde i huset fick alla som ville en var sin timme, en kväll i veckan, i den stora bastun i husets källarvåning. Eftersom detta var i Finland, där alla fick lära sig bastubadandets ädla konst redan i sin mammas mage, var det naturligtvis alla familjer, som utnyttjade bastun. Vår familj hade tiden på onsdagskvällar, mellan fem och sex.

Jag och mina systrar stod startklara i hallen, iklädda i varsin färgglad badrock i frotté. Mamma hade designad och sytt rockarna, de var utrustade med stor huva där bak, och en praktisk dragkedja, samt stora fickor där fram. I fickorna hade vi våra Barbie-dockor, för tillfället klädda i små badrockar av samma tyg som våra egna. Så fort mamma hade gett klartecken rusade vi ut ur lägenheten, nerför trapporna, ända ner till källargången. En lång, mörk korridor, kantad med smala dörrar till varje lägenhets förvaringsutrymmen, ledde till tvättstugan och bastun. Allehanda rör, en del smala, andra tjocka, ringlade sig fram längs med korridortaket och gav ifrån sig mystiska gurglanden.

På grund av mörkret var det svårt att se de farliga luckorna på golvet i korridoren. Alla barnen på Botbygårdsvägen 1 visste, att det bodde grymma, eldsprutande drakar under luckorna. Det räckte att nudda på luckan, så skulle den öppna sig, och släppa ner det stackars offret till drakens bo i Underjorden. Här gällde det att springa fort, och hoppa rätt. Tofflorna klapprade mot det hårda cementgolvet när vi sprang!

Jag hann först till bastudörren. I det samma hördes ett hjärtskärande skrik från minsta bastubaderskan! Hade hon blivit offer för drakarna? Jag vände mig om och fick se båda mina systrar stå paralyserade vid en av luckorna. På luckan låg minsta bastubaderskans Barbie!

– Hon kommer att dö!

Mina systrar ylade i kör medan jag sprang tillbaka till dem. Uppenbarligen var dockan så lätt, att luckan inte öppnade sig. Nu gällde det att agera fort, innan draken fick vittring om sitt byte och rusade upp genom luckan! Jag tog ett rejält tag på minsta bastubaderskans morgonrock. Min andra syster grabbade sina händer fulla med min badrock. Vi spjärnade emot med våra fötter allt vad vi orkade medan minsta bastubaderskan böjde sig försiktigt ner mot luckan.

Vi lyckades! Barbien blev räddad från sitt hemska öde. Snart satt vi, och Barbiedockorna, i bastuns ljuva värme och med en gång fylldes bastun av glad diskussion om huruvida drakar tycker om barbiekött, och om drakarnas eld var varmare än elden under det gamla gaseldade bastuaggregatet som hummade där vid bastulavarna.

This is a story about a young boy and his cello. Years ago on his birthday he was given a cello as a present by his grandfather. Among the other presents, that was the only thing that captivated his heart. At that time he was far more smaller than the cello, so he couldn’t play it. He waited and waited.
