The Three things that have made me cry.

... Well, in fictional stories, at least.

I don't usually get attached to characters enough to cry when something happens. Usually it's just a "aw, dammit, not again!" type of feeling and ranting about it for a while. But nope, these are the three things so far that have really touched me enough to make me cry.

-The end of Where the Red Fern Grows when I was in fifth grade. Dammit, that was depressing, and it was about dogs. I couldn't take it. I was bawling.

-The end of Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core. I went into that game knowing that Zack was going to die, that he had to die for the plot to continue. But nope, When that time came around I was sobbing in the back a rental van in Texas, while on vacation.

-And here I sit, Reading the Batman 687 comic I bought today that focuses around the death of Batman. So far I've known about his death for a few months, and I've never come close to crying for my beloved childhood superhero. But when Superman asked Alfred if he was alright and Alfred's reply was: "Am I 'all right'? No, sir. I am not. My son has died." That just let loose the tears. And then Dick and Alfred Cry two pages after. Dammit.

The only other things that got me close to crying was when Beckett died in SGA, and then in Interstella 5555 when Shep died.

Balls.

-Peace
