"ELISE'S WAY BACK - AFTER THE MASSACRE IN NORWAY"

On the surface it looks like any teenager that has given in to a mother’s nagging about not chipping in with the chores at home. A sixteen year old girl that mumbles “unfair” and folds her laundry while her half brother jumps around freely. But Elise is a changed girl forever. Her mother Aina will never be able to forget her daughter’s desperate whisper over the phone from her hiding place on Utøya. “Mom, they are shooting, they are shooting.” How Aina answered: “Just lay still my girl, lay still” And Elise answered: “I will die here mom.” And how Aina tried to give her some strength: “you will not. You are way to loved to die.”
