... som duften av en drøm... (Eye scanning)

Brief description

In the short story "Maskeløs" (maskless), a man walks through an empty town to visit a friend he hasn't met in person since they were children playing together in "trad" reality. The story relates his walk to his friend's house. When the heavily polluted rain gets heavier he scans his eyeball to enter the underground, and is relieved to escape the outdoors. 

There is another example of iris scanning to enter a Maxibrand building in the next short story in the collection, on page 66 in "Et beger for din levende sevje", but this situation with the man escaping the dangerous outdoors is more representative of the feel of this collection of stories. 

 

Pull Quotes

He aims for the stairways heading down, let's the scanner register the eyeball. The doors open, he disappears underground. Safe!

Spring da, mann, spring! Regnet blir tettere, snart vil det hølje ned!

Han løper videre. Ser nedgangen til undergrunnen, kan rekke å komme seg i sikkerhet – men der er Bringsværdgata! Så nær, men samtidig så fjern. Han tar sikte på nedgangen, lar avleseren registrere øyeeplet. Dørene åpner seg, han forsvinner under bakken. Trygg!

I siste liten.

Alene

Hun bor like der borte.
