You know, your text makes the image seem scary and dark, it's perfect, you didn't need to do much, this makes me feel claustrophobic..I love it man, it's weird, but true, people should read post-comments more. =)

spasiba=True Grit?

What did he do, pull it out of the snowbank himself?
I drove an empty box truck in a storm like this across Ohio and Pennsylvania, icy roads, snow constantly coming at you is enough to give you tunnel vision. Driving 50MPH on icy roads a 18 wheeler went off the road and down into a gulch between the highways. He just seams to shoot off the road and down and stopped, dunno how he ever got it back up on the road! My boss told me I had to keep moving since I had his truck and was on his time, but damn that was crazy scary, white knuckled driving. When your only frame of referance is the rear lights of the car behind you, you can't slow down or you lose that referance.

How long is your winter Sad Cyclops?
I like this piece alot, but dunno what to score it. I dunno how much it stands by it's self.
As I've been known to say before, Picasso said, exagerate the essential, I wish the story line were more evident and the subtle elements were a bit more obvious...

Still, I like it more than Miaku's... Hers I think could be a bit more like yours, elemental and visa versa. heh, that's my 12 cents.

When does snow come to the netherlands?
I'm sorta of from there, way back in my family tree, my name means "Land Of the Vikings".

I never heard of that Russian again, I drove past there one year later and then his car wasn't there anymore. I guess he got pulled out. Spasiba is Thankyou in Russian. I moved to the south of Norway just recently, winters are always dark, sometimes with a lot of snow sometimes with very little. It starts beginning of October, then the snow can last up til May. In Holland we don't get much of winter anymore, just some slush and a lot of cold and rain. If the roads would freeze a bit it would be a mess, Dutchies don't buy winter tires.
What is your name actually? Mine means "Afternoon" in Dutch and "Dinner" in Norwegian.

Wiklund, I've heard it's pretty common over there.

hmm, here's another possibility. Wik would be derived from Vik, which means Bay. Vikings or Vikingur is like Bay-people or "from the bay". Lund can be from land, which means land, but the Norwegian word lund also means thicket or little bush. So, I wouldn't exclude that your name would have meant "Thicket by the bay". But stick with your version if you want, it's much cooler.

This is damned interesting, pity my names don't mean much.
my surname is shared with a town in Germany.
