A boat set course for the archipelago but went to Stockholm.
A new language was spoken in Stockholm.
One could vanish without ever leaving Stockholm.
A mind unraveled while wandering Stockholm.
The light slipped away one evening in Stockholm.
Breath grew thin on certain days in Stockholm.
A seat was booked away from Stockholm.
Fog followed the road back from Stockholm.
Souvenirs returned from Stockholm.
Thorns lay hidden in baggage carried from Stockholm.
Belief faltered—had anyone truly seen Stockholm?
Few grasp how far one travels to reach Stockholm.
No return will ever be made to Stockholm.
