Moment of silence

I'm sure a lot of you have already seen this. For anyone who hasn't, Sir Terry Pratchett has passed on.

There's nothing I can really say. There's nothing to say. But, I'm going to be re-reading his books for the next little while. As long as they're around he's still around.

Without a doubt, Sir PTerry was a patron saint of the Bar. So many of us were brave/foolhardy enough to apps his characters, right from that day an angel and a demon walked through the door. And the rest of us were lucky enough to have the chance to send our pups to meet with the faces from the Disc or from Good Omens.

PTerry, you were and always will be an inspiration to writers everywhere, being they pros or humble fans like us.

GNU Terry Pratchett. It feels right to use this journal.

Shamelessly stolen from Tumblr, but I shall share it here:



Sir Terry Pratchett awakens. A skeleton stands at his bedside, wearing a long black robe. He sits up. “Well, hang on, let me get my hat,” he tells it.

The skeleton reaches into its robe. From abyssal depths it produces a heavy book bound in sheets of lead and night. It is the kind of book that gets stolen by a rugged adventurer from a temple with more spike-traps than the average house of worship contains. It is the kind of book to which the word “tome” might properly be applied. Frost forms on its pages from the lingering chill of the void.

The skeleton coughs once and holds the book out to the man sitting on the bed.

WOULD YOU SIGN THIS? it asks. BIG FAN.

Someone known as sundayswiththeilluminati (very nice). Original post, although that's the entirety of it.
