I gave him a blank stare, trying to think what I wanted. All I could think of was how much I yearned for collapsing into my bed once I got home. "I'll have what she's having." I gestured at the woman sitting in front of me.

Prose-ject 2020 7: Dancing Angel in The Night
The prompt used: dancing in the night. While Ria seemed to be safe to be with, the first nights we spent at the same camp I could not help keeping my guard up. Taking her with me had been risky and reckless enough even though the Harmony Blade seemed to approve it. She could easily … Continue reading Prose-ject 2020 7: Dancing Angel in The Night
Prose-ject 2020 6: The Road to Success
My father used to say that the road to success is lined with failures. As a master swordsman, he lived by that motto and did his best to teach me to do so as well. After he died and I took up a sword to fight for my village, I have done my best to follow his teachings and his motto.
Prose-ject 2020 5: Song of Fear
My search had now led me to mountaintop ruins at a place where the sky was darkened purple and the air filled with unsettling violin music. The notes struck fear into people's bones — mine included — so no one had dared to approach the ruins after the sky had changed around it.
Prose-ject 2020 4: Banishment Day 155

Prose-ject 2020 3: Fearless Cardinal
Perhaps it was all of them. Perhaps Cardinals like that lived wherever she was from. Perhaps the fearlessness was something she could relate to. Actually, she did feel fearless;
Prose-ject 2020 2: When Everything Changed
That day was supposed to be a fun day. Olly and I had organized a charity run for us kids with our friends: each participant would pay the one-euro participation fee and we would all race to the top of the hill just outside our town. The winner would get an ice cream of their choice from our local sellers and the money would go to the local animal shelter.
Prose-ject 2020 1: Nobody’s Perfect
"Well, nobody's perfect." I shrugged. "Well, nobody told you to toss your expensive gear that we're still paying into the beast's mouth!" the team chief, Escargot — yes, he did kind of look like a snail — yelled in my face.
My published poem: translated!
I decided that, as one of my final deeds at art this year, I will finally translate the poem that got published this spring. Luckily, it was not very long, so I could do it in one sitting. Both the original Finnish version and the translated English version are now on my DeviantArt page. I've … Continue reading My published poem: translated!
I’ve gotten published!
Some time ago, LitConquistadores offered FFM writers a chance to get published. I submitted some of my stories and... Two of them were chosen for the anthology, which is now published! This anthology is called The Ruminations of a Multiheaded Monster. Check out all the buying options here: http://fav.me/dctgp5l Oh? Which are my stories that … Continue reading I’ve gotten published!
