Jim Butcher Quote
It's a shadelight, Grimm said quietly. Some of my men put one up whenever I lose a member of the crew. To light his shade's way back to his bunk, so he can rest.A bit heathen of them, I suppose, Benedict said.It's a tradition, Grimm said. Were traditions rational, they'd be procedures.
