The Human Aspect of Simen

At age 13 I was playing with gasoline and suddenly I found myself on fire. The first time I looked myself in the mirror at the hospital I saw a monster. A few years later I joined my politically engaged sister to their summer camp, at Utøya and brought my best friends to join for what turned out to be a nightmare. I saw I girl killed in front of me by a man dressed like police and we fled in fear. I had several encounters with him and survived, but 69 people did not make it.
