Fiction is painful business

I'm sitting here, waiting for the laundry to finish so I can go upstairs, and just feeling amazingly bummed out.  While checking what should have been a tiny, innocuous detail that was going to be used in a throw-away line, I learned that one of my favourite magicians is dying.  That was not what I went online to find out.  I just wanted to check Johnathan's showtimes, and instead learned that he's in the process of getting his affairs in order while he skates by on borrowed time.

And now I'm just... blah.

This isn't even the first time with this story I went to go look up something tiny, and found instead something I didn't want to find.  A few weeks ago, I went to go look up when the Key Largo casino closed down, and instead found that someone had burnt it to the ground and killed the squatters who were living in there.

I need to just finish this story before it depresses me any further.
