That's what I'd want my brick to say, but I'm ineligible. I wonder how much the city spent on this? I run my hand over the side of the wall, feeling the ridge where brick meets mortar. I hadn't planned on coming--I shouldn't have, but it's on my way, and the Banlo Bay Historical Sites Committee sent a nice letter inviting me and the other survivors to their fantastic memorial. The grand opening of a gravesite. Just about everyone who'd been living at the orphanage with me had died in the fire and now had their very own brick with a quote and their name over it. The couple hundred who escaped, including me, were let up front where the disembodied wall of the monument stood. The sentiment is stupid.
