Friday Snippet

Posted by zarffyn on February 8, 2008

Eventually, Friday Snippets will be posted on a separate page. For now, it’ll stay here.

This is SHORT. One paragraph. I’m writing right now what will be the very end of Demonbane. Why the end? Because I was thinking about it on the way home, and was inspired. I’m not telling the context of what this paragraph is written in. You’ll just have to wait till I finish Demonbane. But I really thought that this beautiful and perfect. Again, not telling why.

“We all dream about leaving a legacy behind. Some try to do it with money, or great acts of good, or evil. I think Beth had it right. The only legacy worth leaving, is love. And Beth will never be truly dead, or forgotten, as long as we don’t just remember her love, we share it. With each other, your family, your friends. With complete strangers you pass by on the street. With the customer ahead of you in line, who is diligently counting out every penny. With the person who gives you a hard time for no reason at all. With that person you haven’t spoken to in five years. Beth only ever asked one thing of anyone, and that was simply to love.”
