RIP Terry Pratchett
A thousand of bread! A thousand of beer! A thousand of every good thing! May Terry Pratchett enter into that black desert and fall not asleep on those sands. May his friends, family, and fans be comforted. When much is taken, something is returned.

However, there's just something special about jotting down your own words (and, if … Continue reading A Flamekeeper’s Prayer
