Summary

This is actually something I wrote in school. I'm sorry about the language not being English, but I couldn't find Swedish as an option to post in. Maybe if there's some fellow Swedes out here on Booksie, or if you simply know our language, you might find this piece entertaining. It's possible I'll put up a translated version someday. Anyways, I don't think a summary really fits this particular short story, you'll simply have to experience it :-)
