We Remember Me

[Bruin Fisher]

We Remember Me

Here is a wistful SciFi story which reminds me powerfully of a movie I saw in the theatre just recently called Never Let Me Go. Not so much a story, more a snapshot or vignette - there isn't much of a storyline, but the sadness of the characters is very well portrayed.

Well worth reading, I think!

Like an iceberg, so much of this fine story is hidden from view. We are left to conjecture these circumstances, with little success, until we realize that it is the present moment that is important, not the past.

Spoiler Alert:

Eight's optimism is what differentiates him from his siblings, and whether or not he is the successful outcome most like the Original perhaps does not really matter. What matters is Eight's own success at grasping at life, his own ability to see value.
