kiss me, and never, never. never let me go

I like movies that create twisted human worlds, it's so creative and fascinating. It reminded me of The Island, but a more humanistic, idealistic and realistic approach. I wonder what life is sometimes, but then, so do most people. Maybe we're all just here to be lab rats.

It’s been two weeks since I lost him. I’ve been given my notice now. My first donation is in a month’s time. I come here, and imagine that this is the spot where everything I’ve lost since my childhood has washed up. I tell myself, ‘If that were true, and I waited long enough, then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field, and gradually get larger until I’d see it was Tommy. He’d wave, and maybe call.’ I don’t let the fantasy go beyond that. I can’t let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. What I’m not sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people that we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we’ve lived through. Or feel we’ve had enough time.
