Finally got the third sentence right

Spent two hours today rewriting a lesson on the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Not for the kids—just me, staring at the screen like I was trying to remember a dream. The first sentence was too flashy, the second too dry. Third one? 'It didn’t end with a bang, but with a quiet Tuesday where no one showed up to pay taxes.' That’s the one that landed. Feels less like teaching and more like remembering something I’ve always known.
