A somewhat interesting short essay about grief, inspired by the game of Nethack. The title comes from a message that appears in the game in certain situations.

I remember everything2 which was sort of a forerunner of wikipedia, and better in some ways. The contributor community was much less obnoxious. I'm glad it is still around. It's been ages since I looked at it.
