in loving memory of Queen Eunice the First, Survivor of the First Frost and Slayer of Men, who passed away recently after laying her ootheca. my time with her was fleeting, and it makes me want to cling on a little tighter to the things i love in this life. cherish each second a little more. i hope you can too
