Plot summary
Queen of the Falls is about a 62-year-old woman named Annie Edson Taylor who remembers getting closer and closer to Niagara Falls with her father, entranced by the sight and sound of the water. Finally, as a 62-year-old, she goes over the falls in a wooden barrel, seeking fortune and fame.
gollark: I'll dispatch a teleoperation bee unit.
gollark: We should not meet as this would provide information about my location and appearance.
gollark: Some hard things are satisfying to work on because of being intellectually challenging and such, but not exactly hard*ships* like "hmm I have cancer now" or "I accidentally lost all my money to a swarm of bees".
gollark: Some difficult things are just interesting puzzly things which are frustrating at worst.
gollark: Some hardships are really awful and do not give you much feeling of reward for overcoming it. Some you *can't* really overcome (with current technology) e.g. terminal cancer.
