The last battle the two men fought was a bit into the noughties when Rune bought one of those automated robotic lawn mowers,
which he’d ordered from Asia, and left it to whiz about on the lawn behind the houses.
Rune could even remotely program it to cut “special patterns,”
Sonja said in an impressed tone of voice one evening when she came home from visiting Anita.
Ove soon caught on that this “special pattern” was the habit of that robotic little shit
to consistently rumble back and forth all night outside Ove and Sonja’s bedroom window.
One evening Sonja saw Ove fetch a screwdriver and walk out the veranda door.
Next morning the little robot, quite inexplicably, had driven right into Rune’s pool.
The month after, Rune went into the hospital for the first time. He never bought another lawn mower.
Ove did not know himself how their animosity had begun, though he knew very well that it ended there and then.
Afterwards it was only memories for Ove, and a lack of them for Rune.
And there were very likely people who thought one could not interpret men’s feelings by the cars they drove.
