Yellow

Theme/Focus: Environment.

A story about a young woman moving out of her childhood bedroom. Was origianlly written in Swedish and therefore I recommend reading that version if possible. Especially this particular story, as some of the meaning gets lost in translation since it is based on the swedish saying “gult är fult” which means “yellow is ugly”.
