Quote of the Day: 1 October 2025 #QotD

“Death is fugitive; even when you’re watching for it, the actual instant somehow slips between your fingers. You don’t get that sudden drop of the head that you see in movies. Instead you simply sit there, waiting for something to happen, and all at once you realize you’ve missed it.” -Lucy Carlyle, The Whispering Skull
[And it arrives when you don't want it to. Whether that is too early, or too late in some unfortunate circumstances. It will hurt you either way. Or, rather, the loss of the individual who has died will.]
