Description When I'm gone, no need to wonder if I ever think of you,
The same moon shines, the same wind blows,
For both of us and time is but a paper moon... be not gone...

95 years ago, in the early morning of July 17, 1918, by the orders of Lenin, Czar Nicholas, Czarina Alexandra, and their five children, along with servants, were executed by the Bolsheviks in Yekaterinburg. This is my colorization in their memory. I hope it's not too bright.

Let us cling together as the years go by, oh my love, my love
In the quiet of the night, let our candle always burn
Let us never lose the lesson we have learned.
-"Teo Torriatte", Queen

...Living proof that everyone only has a short time to be on this earth, to love and laugh while they are able because no one knows when it will be too late...

I got really sad when I found out that nobody escaped or survived...Nobody deserves to die like that,but I've heard of worse ways,and I think that the best way to go is just quickly and painlessly.

Me too... One of the other saddest murders out there is the murder of twelve year old Shanda Sharer in 1992. She was kidnapped,tortured for hours,and then killed by four teenage girls. I found out about it a few weeks ago and I think it's scarred me a little because of the things they did to her and the way she died (I won't say how they tortured Shanda or what they did to her that ended up killing her because it's too graphic) and that they were all so young...and now two of the girls are out of prison. But the other two girls are still in jail and Shanda's mom doesn't like that two of the girls are free and I don't approve of their early releases either because the girls still did what they did (even the one who was resistant;she just went along with it because she was afraid of what the girls would do to her if she had said stop or if she had tried to save Shanda) and they have to be punished for their crime.
