Then, in 1970, it again went away. In fact, a whole year passed without an episode.

And slowly, the Swedes become a small community. Old prejudices fade before new awareness and necessity. The whore...
...idea that inanimate artifacts may become a medium for energies of the past, and that in this way events and passions recur and prevail through time, is the key to a similar story, Juan Murana.
