"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"
That is the quote my screen name draws on. It's from Macbeth. I like tragedies, there's something good and final about the protagonist dying in the end, no happily ever afters, and no cash-in sequels. Too many good stories are ruined by the hopelessly doomed protagonist being saved by a Deus Ex Machina moments before death.
And none of that was what I'd originally intended to write, but it was probably more interesting.
