"Erika Falk tried to concentrate. The atmosphere in her small office at the old school in Fielbäcka was heavy, as if time had frozen. Outside, the sea was calm, but the tranquility of nature did not match her inner turmoil. She hadn't written for months, and now, with the baby sleeping beside her and Patrick at work, she felt she had to find the strength to start again. It was as if writing had become a lost habit, an old, forgotten duty.

"Mom, mom!" The voice of Maya, her little daughter, was heard from the hallway. Erika sighed but smiled. Motherhood was another form of creation, one that demanded all her energy. The baby, Margaret, woke up and started crying. Erika got up, left the keyboard, and went to hold her.

A little later, when the baby had fallen asleep again and Maya was absorbed in her games, Erika returned to the office. She looked at the computer screen, blank. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was Patrick. His voice was broken. "Erika, you have to come. We found something. Something very bad."
