Future Plans: 
Ideas for Stories


Stokmarknes 1957. A swede comes there and has a child with a woman living there. They move further north, because there it is easier to find work.


Twenty minutes into a football game, one of the players falls and is being carried out on a stretcher. (The ballgame is described by someone who does not really understand what is going on.) In the dressing room he tells his life story to a guy from the Red Cross.

A boy is coughing. His mother buys candy. The
cashier has a secret.

Somebody hides behind a bush and says: “Coo-coo!”

Arnstein Cough is wearing a t-shirt that says: “I am totally crazy!

Two brothers buy a bag of potato chips. There is a small key inside the bag.

A scientist feels that others are given priority before him. Irritated and annoyed, he takes the bus, staring gloomily out through the window. In the seat next to him he finds a bill that somebody has forgotten there. He pays it.

A woman refuses to believe that the combination of beer and port wine is also called “green sweater”. She makes a bet. This leads to big changes in her life, as she becomes the sole heiress to a flock of sheep.

Thought experiment: Rename the headline for this to “IDEAS FOR PAINTINGS.”
