Prisoner No. 503/77: A Story of Survival

The first sensation is one of abject horror.
Christer Lybäck’s mobile rings at precisely 10 a.m. on January 26th, 2011.
Today is somewhat unusual for a Wednesday, as Lybäck is not scheduled to perform any operations this morning.
He is sitting in the car with his partner Paula.
The sun is shining, Paula is chatting on her phone to a girlfriend.

Lybäck picks up, and the caller introduces himself as an officer from the Satakunta Open Prison, the former Köyliö Reserve Prison, located between Turku and Pori in the west of the country.
Lybäck’s moment of stark panic at the introductory words is understandable: for a split second he forgets that he is Dr. Christer Lybäck, successful and highly respected orthopaedic surgeon, a partner in a flourishing private hospital, and a model citizen, father, and husband.
For that split second he fears that he has been caught for something and that retribution is about to come crashing down on his head.

Part from the beginning of article to help determine if article is worth of your time

This article is definitely worth the read, thanks for posting it! I also want to encourage you to post interesting stories like this again - always like off-the-road stories.
The writing style of article is excellent, fits perfectly to the story, very cool to read. :up:

However I found out that the website that published the article is fake. Look here: http://www.hs.fi/english/extras/speakup Lämmin! :har: No way you Finns have a word for "warm" - the last word means less cold :03::D

Thank you! :D

:stare: Came on Penguin! If we could not form term "Lämmin sää" (Warm weather) how I could describe following situation:
- According to thermometer outdoor temperature is -33 degrees celsius (6 am.)
- According to Foreca weather information there is 10 m/s wind (6 am.)
- I'm standing in the Tervala bus stop thinking "Where in the hell is bus 16?" when I witness busses passing... 12, 13, 14, 13M, 12...
Kind of warm weather isn't it?

:D

:haha:
I thought -33° would mean: "It's a little chilly, time to wear long pants!" :03:
