At the start of this rather depressing year, I was finding myself reading a lot of apocalyptic and dystopian fiction, but it quickly became a bit too … Real, and rather Depressing. So around April, I switched over to rereading the entire Terry Pratchett Diskworld series of books, to lighten things up a bit. I’m currently halfway through “Reaper Man”, and felt the need to pay homage to a pair of my favorite characters from the novels, Death and the Death of Rats. (and I know, strictly speaking, the Death of Rats should be speaking in ALL CAPS, but it just didn’t work with this typestyle)
