The Dark Lord is not improving and it's difficult to tell whether or not He's getting worse. He wants no one around, at all. I believe He might be sleeping most of the time. My mind reels with the possibilities of the fallout if He does expire. It will be chaos. I don't even know how many of us have a desire to continue the work toward His vision. Not very many, I'd wager. So what, then? What do we do?
