This is a hard post for me to make. A long time fellow Dark Star member has passed away. Scott Long, aka Reaper 696 was fatally stabbed in Monterey, CA. I never met Scott in real life, but have had the pleasure of being his friend for 12 years. We talked on the phone a few times, had countless conversations on Face Book, and even incited a riot or two here on DS way back when. He started one of my all time favorite threads here. He was sweet and funny and never failed to give me hope and a smile when things were bad. I will miss him.Attachments:

Oh no, not Reaper. I still remember “Door 222” and I apologize again to Aish for that one but he had a way of bringing out the fun in people. RIP my friend. You are and will continue to be missed.

Sad news, as a poetry site, could we somhow as tribute/memorial to him bump some of his poems to the top, so others can easily find and read his works ?

Angel, that's a great idea. I think I will dig around later tonight and post some of his work in the memorial. He posted more comedy sketches and short stories than he did poetry, but there's some lurking around. He sent me a birthday poem every year, complete with photos. He was a great guy.

He wasn’t real active in the poetry board come to think of it. He did a lot more of the group writings, games and fun, and was creative in ways that got others involved. He was a fun guy, I wished I knew him in RL when I lived down that way.

I haven't forgotten about digging up some of Scott's poetry. I will get it accomplished soon.

R. I. P. Reaper. You are in my thoughts in the time I was away from here. Were is past tense and you still live in my mind.

Wow that is messed up. May the wandering spirits lay their wrath upon the uncanny triumphant worldgoers.
