I love this poem so much. Several parts hit me hard: the knowledge that even Onni's most peaceful dreams are dark, the fact that seeing the childhood forest he once belonged to overrun and empty, his really very humble goals.

I tried to paint an image inspired by the story written by jitter. It does not look realistic but this is from my mind i. e. an oversimplyfing and exaggerating one.

Moredhel, thank you! Is this the one saying “with all due respect have you lost your mind?”

WAR AND PEACE: ONNI
...
That's excellent, @Róisín ! Poor Onni, It has been a hard life since that day in his home island...

@moredhel, I really like this one! And your story, @Jitter ! Very well done! The all-dialogue format seems challenging, but it turned out fine!

And I also enjoyed your story, @tehta ! I hope we see a lot more from you!

I know I should close this thread... But I have my story almost ready after some just-too-much-work time, so if you don't mind I'll keep it open a few more days. :)
