    Sir Terry Pratchett passes away at age 66

    Alzheimer's took him. And now the world is a darker place.

    [12:37] <I3uster> if playing overwatch would save my mother from the deathbed
    [12:37] <I3uster> id probably flip a coin
    [12:38] <I3uster> to see if i play or not

    [18:23] <frantic> spinach is like a caffeine zombie

    [18:23] <frantic> in AX he would like
    [18:23] <frantic> drink 8 shots of espresso
    [18:23] <frantic> then he'd turn to me an hour later
    [18:23] <frantic> 'frantic', he'd say, his eyes wild and his lips smug
    [18:23] <frantic> 'i need coffee'

    Thank you, this deserved its own thread and ipad navigation at work was insufficient. ;.;

    Kyah, my heart... The way things were going, you knew it wasn't going to be much longer he was writing, but this is still much, much, much too soon.

    i hope Death was as kind and polite to him as he wrote it to be, and given he apparently passed away in his sleep, maybe it was.

    At this rate, some kind of occult ritual needs to be maintained to preserve Neil Gaiman's safety. ;.;

    All i can say positive on it is that i'm glad he went comfortably and asleep at home - that's among, to me, the best ways for it to happen, if it has to.

    Alzheimers is very very harsh.

    I wonder if he went the euthanasia route.

    I've read only two or three books from him, but really enjoyed them.

    Memories of a King - a 'Saber Origins' story ( 8/? chapters, discontiuned )
    A Small Warmth - a post UBW-Good oneshot, Saber/Rin
    Devil's Thrill - Narbareck hunts down a DAA Blackmore ( 10/10 chapters, finished )
    Boundary of Loneliness - Ryougi Shiki/Alphard Al-Shua oneshot. Lemon-flavoured

    The world's still the same...it's just, more empty now.

    Ah hell, 66 is still too young no matter the cause. At least his family was there with him in the end. Rest in peace.
