Neil Gaiman: That last post →
neil-gaiman: People are asking if that last post was a joke. I don’t think so. But even if it was, it wasn’t. It’s nothing I haven’t seen before, many times, either as hate mail that came in on the FAQ line over at neilgaiman.com, or in other corners of the web — the saddest of which was a letter from a… Neil Gaiman’s a class act, but you knew that.

Sentimental Accidents: Bring Enough For Everyone →
willstegemann: Nobody told us what happened inside of the building across the street before my mother rented the house in the summer of 1983.

willstegemann: “Please don’t do this. He’s his best friend.” My mother was begging my father to not leave the house, to not take me with him and to not do what he said he was going to do when we got out there. I was waiting by the door in my blue and orange Mets jacket hoping that my mother would win this…
