Seven Years Remembered
I just wanted to take a moment for remembrance of all those who perished on this day in 2001. To those who gave their lives to stop the attacks, those on the planes, those in the buildings, and of course, the public servicemen and women who died trying to save others.
"There is a tower in the Emperor’s palace called the Tower of Heroes, a black tower that rises into the sky like a spike. At the summit of that tower hangs the Bell of Lost Souls. It is an ancient thing, massive as a building and adorned with dark runes, its peal like the scream of an anguished god. It is tolled but once when a great hero of the Imperium dies. Its wailing moan of grief lasts long and reaches the ears of millions, and its tones penetrate the unifying ether of humanity, turning the thoughts of countless billions towards mankind’s loss."
On this day in 2008, that bell rings true. Take that moment, readers. Remember. Pray. Do whatever you see fit to honour the dead, but never let them be forgotten.
