Leap of Faith

I look down. It’s a long way down. Not the kind of drop most would survive. I’m sure I wouldn’t, not with my tiny, frail body. Hitting the ground is not what I am built for. I am on top of a tall building. I can’t say anything more about…

I’ve Seen It

“I’ve been thinking something this whole time. You’re afraid of me, aren’t you?” A girl, clad in the light blue robes that signified her profession as a seer — or as people would say in common parlance, a fortune teller, or maybe even an oracle — rested her hand on…

The Lord of Darkness

Finally. It was over. Years and years of tyranny, at last brought to an end. Lily pulled out her sword from the fallen dark lord’s body. It was smeared with blood, matching that which was slowly spreading on the floor, the corpse at the center of the bloody puddle. So…

I Read a Book in German For the First Time in a Long Time

I studied German in school, for a total of about five years. Three hours per week of classes, and a little homework. But not much. Doing some rough math, I estimate that to be about 540 hours of German classes. Not a huge amount of time for learning a language…

A focus on learning languages

I’m not exactly the most active writer on medium, but until now I’ve mainly been writing short fiction (also some other miscellaneous things like a semi-failed attempt to read a ton). But now I also want do to something else, and that something else is languages. I’ve been trying to…

Heartbeat, Heartbeat

(I originally wrote this based on a writing prompt) Heartbeat, heartbeat. Beat after beat after beat. Almost inaudible, nothing more than a whisper. An echo of what could have been. Of what we could have been. All the possibilities the rest of the world had already left behind. She looked…

Senseless Disaster

All the essentials gathered. Snacks packed. Map in my right coat pocket. And most importantly: a proper course plotted. A look forward revealed mist-covered peaks. Storm clouds swirled in the sky. A sign of things to come? Of a game yet to start, to all but one. The battle of…

I Will Read (At Least) One Story/Article From Everyone Who Comments On This

I think the title kind of conveys the gist of what I’ll say already, but just leaving at that would be boring, so here’s some text. Text that talks about why I felt like doing this, what I’ll be doing(hint: it’s in the title) and so on. First of all…
