"Did she want to be buried or cremated?" people would ask. 'Who should come to the funeral?' And no one would know. The people, whoever they were, would just look at each other's shoes or shoulders until the silence settled in and then someone would put on a pot of coffee, briskly and with a fair amount of clatter. Coffee goes great with sudden death. – Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
"Four girls are dead. Four of our girls are dead: Kandis, Robyne, Dee, Donyell." I stood in the dorm lobby listening to the whispers students exchanged about the accident that happened two hours before.

Literature
Hopelessness?
What make you think you're hopeless?
"Because I am!"
You do not convince me...
You were not the embodiment of
a perfect failure
or pure worthlessness
or unfulfilled rational purpose
Because I've been with you for a long while
And loved you for all that time
So I've seen all your triumphs
All your smiles
All your good days.
So I ask again:
What makes you think you're hopeless?
"Because you are!"
Now we're getting somewhere...
Celebrating 20 years of magic: A tribute to Harry by BeccaJS, journal
Celebrating 20 years of magic: A tribute to Harry
June 26th, 1997: 20 years Today...
Bloomsbury UK published a print run of 500 copies of the first edition of a series of unique books. A children's series about the life of a small teenage boy, who thought he was just ordinary- but in fact he was so much more than extraordinary. It brought the fantasy back into the limelight, leaguing up against lord of the rings and bringing with it children who found interest in reading. Joanne Rowling started a phenomenon that defined a generation.

For many of us, we grew up with Harry Potter. We queued up for midnight openings and stayed up all night reading the books desperate to avoid sp

St Anne's Reel
We danced together, you and I, when the night was young. Jigs followed reels, and the whole hall moved to our music.
Strangers and old friends, it made no difference, then. We watched children and old men alike as they paused on the threshold, uncertain. We watched them take those first stumbling steps, faces creasing into smiles, and then they were whirled away into the dance.
Feet stamped in time, hands clapped, and skirts spun open as bright and fleeting as flowers carried on the wind. Together, we urged them on, faster and faster, until you were a blur across my strings.
The years have moved on though, and that floor is empty now. You
