---<@~Farewell SIBERIA~@>---

So long, farewell, are we to bid Adieu....

Siberia's destiny finally cast in stone...After fighting valiantly the battle of dwindling numbers, she succumbed to the pernicious force of migration. One by one, the deadly blows struck her. First, the flight of our longtime president to the greener (or grayer) pastures of Laughborough. The loss of leadership marked the disintegration of the flourishing county. Next, our honey bee decided to shift her colony to the bustling town. Shortly after, Othello's love packed her turtles, big and small, and shipped them to the town. Apparently, she secured the last and most coveted plot of land (just within the perimeters of the town). With one remaining inhabitant, Siberia officially announced its closure. The vibrance has dissipated into desolation. Once in a while, travellers will saunter down the thoroughfare to seek a sip from the well. What's left is only that picture taken in her prime and beautiful memories for her alumni to savour. We mourn now, but we rejoice at the birth of a new age, one more brilliant than its preantecedent.
