"Min mor følte afsky for drenge og mænd. my|||disgust||||men “My mother loathed boys and men. Så jeg skulle gå i pigetøj. |||||girl's clothes So I had to wear girl's clothes.

Sådan ville hun være blevet, hvis jeg ikke havde ødelagt alt. |||||||||ruined| That's how she would have become if I hadn't ruined everything. Hvis jeg så i det mindste havde været en pige, sagde hun altid, så kunne jeg have trådt i hendes fodspor. |||||at least||||||||||||followed in|||footsteps If only I had at least been a girl, she always said, then I could have followed in her footsteps. Men jeg var et mis-foster - en dreng. ||||cat||| But I was a misfit - a boy. En mørkhåret dreng. A dark-haired boy. For satan da." For heaven's sake.

"Niks. “Nothing. Ikke mere snak. Nu skal vi have lidt skrigeri. |||||screaming Now we're going to have some screaming. Det har jeg savnet de andre gange. I have missed that the other times. Men du får en lille klud i munden. |||||rag|| But you get a little rag in your mouth. Vi kan ikke risikere, at naboerne hører noget."

Han rakte hånden frem mod hende. |reached out|||| Det var nu, hun måtte gøre noget. Ellers startede torturen. Hun ville hellere dø nu med det samme. She would rather die right now.

Iben could hear the bone crunching and blood running down her mouth. Men hun ville ikke give slip. |||||let go But she wouldn't let go. Han slog hende alt, hvad han kunne i hovedet.

Jeg giver aldrig slip, tænkte hun. I'll never let go, she thought. Det er ude med mig, hvis jeg giver slip. |is||"over"||||| I'm out if I let go.

Han slog hende igen og igen. Stuen blev væk i rød tåge. The living room|||||red mist Das Wohnzimmer verschwand in rotem Nebel. The living room disappeared in red mist. Til sidst blev alt mørkt og stille.
