Well, well, well, isn’t that another familiar looking building?
This of course is the small village school located in the middle of the fields. I found the place the previous summer, I even found an open window. But the covid pandemic and my lack of activities had made me so stiff and weak in the muscles, that I couldn’t climb in.
The sign claims, that the mobile library stops here every other Wednesday for 15 minutes. I strongly contest this claim.
They still claim, that there’s camera surveillance here. I contest even this claim.
I already knew where to look for a point of entry.
But decided to check the back of the school just in case. No open doors there. In fact no doors at all.
So it was time to climb the stairs at the back of the building.
Which were armed with broken glass and toys.
I did try the door to see if it was open. It wasn’t.
So in the end I was left standing by the same window, I couldn’t push myself through a year ago.
But dance practice had resumed. Either I had become more flexible or gotten my upper body muscles back. Or both. Either way, I was inside. And it was clear that a kid had lived here. That looks like a Citroën 2CV Fitted with the nose of a Cadillac.
A school assignment: plan a book presentation. The kid has chosen Peter Criss’ autobiography, labeled it a thriller and given it five stars.
A magazine, which looks like one from tin foil hat people. Didn’t read.
A computer screen from the 1990’s.
Hockey posters. This has been the room of a kid, and the kid has liked Kiss and ice hockey.
A poster of Aleksander Barkov, a Finnish hockey player. Now this sheds the first rays of light into the date of abandonment of the building. It states Barkov as a national team player, and Barkov played his first senior internationals in the Olympic Games in 2014. He is pictured here in a Florida Panthers shirt, and he joined the team back in 2013. So this poster is no older than 2014.
The detective work continues in the following post.
