I just reread the scene in _TLoCB_ where Morrolan comes upon the ruins of his ancestral home and I thought, wouldn't there be nothing but dust left if a castle free-fell from a mile in the sky? And I remembered Paarfi's poignant words about the castles that fell in the Disaster. Then I wondered, what did SKZB feel seeing his imagined catastrophe take real form on 11 Sept 2001? None of my business of course. I don't know if I've once been entirely happy since that day.
