Welcome to the thoughts of a Dwarf. This intrepid site is designed primarily to allow a place where I can store all of my writings, be it stories or poems or illogical philosophical rants. I hope to be able to provide interesting reading material for my friends and the random stranger who somehow gets sucked off course and finds this sight. Feel free to comment or even request stories. The more inspiration that I have, the more I can explore the limits of imagination and using literary works to rest for a moment from the tedious demands of reality.

In the beginning, I will be uploading many of my already written works. Though most of them are written for the gaming website Achaea.com, which is a text based MUD that I have been playing since 1998. My current main character in Achaea is the Dwarven Paladin known as Goryllin. His viewpoint is used in many of my current stories, as I draw upon his life and his world to create the science fantasty realities in which my story characters dwell.

Achaea is a medieval setting fantasy world, filled with Dwarves, Humans, Trolls, and many more fantastical races and professions. It is a living and breathing world in that every player has a chance to change the world and its direction. It is a player driven roleplay enhanced realm where combat, life, death and yes even taxes are all a part of the experience. We wouldn't mind having you drop by for a visit and pint of ale, if you do visit please send Goryllin a message and he will be glad to help you.

Moment of Reflection


Closing my eyes to embrace the darkness
I lean back against the wall and pause
Just to take a brief moment of respite
From the emotions that you cause

For a life that once resisted all change
I now appear to be constantly evolving
Longings of old mixing with fresh desires
Has become a door that is always revolving

No longer content to hide away from the world
I strive to do more each and every day
Just to earn a brief glance and smile
Is all that I could ask for my pay

Even now when everyone else is asleep
I search for the next great thing
What can I do now that would amaze you
Your reaction makes me feel like a King

A hope springs to my mind
I pray that you don’t ever feel sadness
That even when things turn for the worse
You will find a way to feel gladness

    Absolutely Riviting. This poem affected me greatly. Showing triumph or the approaching of triumph. It is a true reflection of your body of work. I am thinking congratulations are in order. Congrats.
