What we can Learn from Sir Terry
"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent

Sir Terry Pratchett, a conqueror of the fantasy/Sci-fi industry who not only wrote captivating stories, but threw in wonderfully weird dilemmas full or wit and humour. A truly talented, funny writer, who sported a black fedora hat, silver beard and an imagination most writers would envy.

Ad Astra Terry Pratchett
Countless years your writing spree,
Gave us weirdest fantasy,
Atop a Discworld far away,
But on this earth you couldn't stay.
Far too soon and far too early
Came the reaper with his swirly
Robes and with his dark black hood;
His words like coffin lids of wood.
“AS MY CREATOR YOU MUST SEE,
THERE IS NO JUSTICE, THERE'S JUST ME.”
But even so, don't fear the hatchet.
Rest in peace, Sir Terry Pratchett.
