THE SOUND
The year is 1955. My grandmother has just become pregnant with her firth child within a short period in four years. She is tired. I wish her father would have paid for the education at the home economics school, which she with pleasure would done. But the answer is no. One of her older sisters was about to obtain an education, that was expensive enough! She doesn’t have the strength to another child. She turns to the chief surgeon at the city’s small hospital, he is said to be making illegal abortions. He declines her wish with the reason that she is happy for her three kids and also want to be happy a fourth. The tiredness come into an depression. A deep depression. She gets more and more damaged, and my grandfather is worried about her. At last he doesn’t see another way out than to have the abortion, she has been begging for during about the last couple of weeks. It becomes late night; the three little ones are put to bed. They are black out the kitchen window and lock the doors. She gets ready on the kitchen table and he dips the tool, as ordinarily for washing of clothes – a kind of whisk – in boiling water. Now everything is ready, and my grandfather is bending over my grandmother …. CRASH!
