Describe your worst breakup.

There was something in the moody and dogged silence of this pertinacious companion that was mysterious and appalling? On mounting a rising ground, which brought the figure of his fellow -traveller in relief against the sky, gigantic in height, and muffled in a cloak, Ichabod was horror-struck on perceiving that he was headless!–but his horror was still more increased on observing that the head, which should have rested on his shoulders, was carried before him on the pommel of his saddle! His terror rose to desperation; he rained a shower of kicks and blows upon Gunpowder, hoping by a sudden movement to give his companion the slip ; but the spectre started full jump with him.
Away, then, they dashed through thick and thin; stones flying and sparks flashing at every bound.
–From Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
