ETERNALLY OWNED IS BUT WHAT IS LOST XXXIII

Chapter XXXIII: Anna, the “normal” one

โ€œโ€“ Iโ€™m sorry I wasnโ€™t enough for you.
โ€“ You were never meant to be. There is no secret, John. No Holy Grail. Just whatโ€™s in front of all of us. Donโ€™t open a book. Open a window.โ€
Andy Goddard, Celyn Jones, โ€Set Fire to the Starsโ€

If all goes well, one day Anna will leave her blazer of normality behind.
When she, from the second floor, with force in her arm, has thrown the tailored Helmut Lang garment โ€“ which by now must be called โ€˜vintageโ€™ โ€“ so that it lies like a black, forgotten shadow at the foot of the stairs, she will join the ranks of people who send photos to the tabloids as soon as they have found something disgusting in their store-bought, frozen ready meal.
A strange Estrella potato chip? Hope, hope, hope it is a minor part of a dead mouse! Must post on my Insta. Shame. Shame. Shame the company. Might get multiple new bags!
But surely little me will not go viral? No, better also send a photo of the alleged mouse part as well as a selfie at a weird angle โ€“ which under the articleโ€™s photo will be marked โ€˜Privateโ€™ โ€“ also to the dying evening pressโ€™s very much alive instant-access version and click-party online.
And surely that is a good deed, for in this way a new press officer earns their wings by whispering sorry, sorry, sorry on an illuminated screen.

Kapitel XXXIII: Anna, den โ€œnormalaโ€

โ€œโ€“ Iโ€™m sorry I wasnโ€™t enough for you.
โ€“ You were never meant to be. There is no secret, John. No Holy Grail. Just whatโ€™s in front of all of us. Donโ€™t open a book. Open a window.โ€
Andy Goddard, Celyn Jones, โ€Set Fire to the Starsโ€

Om allt gรฅr bra, kommer Anna en dag att lรคmna sin kavaj av normalitet bakom sig.

Nรคr hon frรฅn andra vรฅningen, med kraft i armen, har kastat det skrรคddade Helmut Lang-plagget โ€“ som nu vรคl fรฅr kallas โ€™vintageโ€™ โ€“ sรฅ att det ligger som en svart bortglรถmd skugga nere vid trappans bรถrjan, kommer hon att sรคlla sig till de skaror av mรคnniskor som skickar bild till kvรคllstidningarna sรฅ fort de hittat nรฅgot รคckligt i sin hemkรถpta, frysta fรคrdigmat.
Ett mรคrkligt Estrella-chips? Hoppas, hoppas, hoppas det รคr en mindre del av en dรถd mus! Mรฅste posta pรฅ mitt Insta. Skamma. Skamma. Skamma fรถretaget. Kan kanske fรฅ flera nya pรฅsar!
Men inte blir vรคl lilla jag viral? Nej, bรคst att รคven skicka bild pรฅ den pรฅstรฅdda musdelen samt en selfie med konstig vinkel โ€“ som under artikelns foto kommer att mรคrkas โ€™Privatโ€™ โ€“ รคven till den dรถende kvรคllspressens hรถgst levande instant-access-version och click-party online.
Och visst รคr det en god gรคrning fรถr pรฅ sรฅ vis fรฅr en ny presskommunikatรถr sina vingar genom att viska fรถrlรฅt, fรถrlรฅt, fรถrlรฅt pรฅ en upplyst skรคrm.
