    1. Thank you, Kristjaan. Next time will wait to read your background instead of just researching the upcoming prompt.

    1. I had written two before I saw Kristjaan's background and didn't know about them singing to death. It's the one I wrote that I felt emotion about it. So I just deleted the other two and kept the best :) Thank you, JzB!

  5. I think other creatures know a lot of things that humans don't...

  6. Thanks, Lolly. Threnody was a word of the day about a month ago on twitter. Who knew I'd actually want to use it one day.
