It was summer. 22nd of July 2011. The nameless male docked the ferry to land at the small island Utøya (I refuse to use his name).
On the island there was youths on summercamp, talking and learning about politics, as they all was members of AUF (youths members of the political party Arbeiderpartiet).
Earlier that day the male parked a car with explosives on the side of the executive government quarter and set it off with a timer. It killed 8 people and over 200 got damaged.
Shortly after, he entered Utøya under the guise of beeing a policeman who was there to inform and protect the youth.
Once upon the island, he armed himself and began to shoot at the kids he saw. Terror soon arouse, and the kids started to run in hiding. Some try to swim across to shore. Many was picked up from the water by passing boats. The male killed 69 kids that day.
Later, when the prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg, addressed the people, he said:
"No one has said it better than the AUF girl who was interviewed by CNN: 'If one man can show so much hate, think how much love we could show, standing together.'
Rumors among the Warriors and Weirdos is that Aurora had a friend who died on Utøya. A story strongly supported by the statement she wrote on Facebook about the release of "Little boy in the grass" four years later:
"Today is the day. 22nd of July. It's been 4 years since you left us. Since all of you left us. how time flies, we even find ourselves forgetting for a moment, nearly moving on.. Not because we forget you, but because we remember to live. But know that I will always remember you, and everyone that went down with you. I will think of love, and send love to those who needs it this today. I hope no one is crying alone. Rest in peace my friend. You are free now. 'Little boy in the grass'. "(11.1)
