But the minor seventh in the second measure is an alternative chording in the Record at Half-Circle

Anne McCaffrey has died.

I don't care that there are books of hers I will never be able to read again: in ninth grade, I made a blue-eyed, satin-gold fire lizard named Sheyne Meydl from a pattern I got from [livejournal.com profile] carik and she sits on my chest of drawers to this day, on top of the box which contains the necklace "Remember What You Say in Dreams." I read everything of hers my parents owned and scoured used book stores for the ones they didn't. Gone away, I thought of titling this post. Gone ahead. Her dragons were a great part of my imagination for years.

"Bloody good author." That was my mum's reaction. She's the McCaffrey fan in our family. But the dragons were there, somewhere at the back of my childhood.
