Everyone:

I've been dealing with a lot of death and destruction lately. No, I'm not talking about my family members, or Bubonic plague, or Napoleon's military causalities in Russia. I'm talking about my stuff. My stuff is dying! More so than dying, though, it's being killed. My stuff is being hunted down and slaughtered by an ass-ASS-in. Evidence of his latest slaughter is below.

The final resting place of my beloved comrade. You are gone, but never forgotten. RIP

Where the blood of my comrade was needlessly spilled.

The worst part is, someone I trusted brought this assASSin into my life. Whom do I blame? Who do I punish and how to I go about doing it? DO I seek revenge, or do I simply let it go... I will not let it go, but I will not let revenge consume me either. Just wait, assASSin. Just wait. Some day you will be repaid.
