When I was a kid my aunt asked me what I wanted to become when I grew up. I replied that I wanted to become a writer or a painter. In the following decades I painted little but occasionally wrote stories that would later-on decorate the inside of my bedroom drawer. A lucky few managed to escape the drawer and appeared online in collection of short stories called Smáfuglar (in Icelandic).

Flicktions

In 2007 I came across the term Flicktion -- meaning a piece of fiction in combination with a Flickr photo. I gave it a try, but did not last long. The result was two stories that can be found below.

• Camels in Amsterdam (2007)
• Subway tunnel (2007)

Urban Fragments

In 2010 I made another attempt to grow up and live my childhood dream. I started to publish short stories on a weekly basis -- alternating between an Icelandic one and an English one. The result is a yet-growing collection called Urban Fragments.

• Across the square (2010)
• Elves and kings (2010)
• How is the traffic in Finland? (2010)
• Life, future, commitments and stuff (2010)
• Rain in Kraków (2010)
• The bar, the bakery, the living room or whatever was the right word for the place (2010)
• The young man on the bicycle (2010)
