Author's note: My muse has been curiously absent lately. So annoying. Anyways, I wrote this next piece in free-flow so to speak. Aka, I was writing because I wanted to write but hadn't a clue what to write about. Still, I liked it well enough that I'm going to go ahead and post it, obviously. You should also be able to id what line in the fic prompted me to look up the below shakesperean quote.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life is but a 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.

Macbeth, Act V, v19
