If you're going to have decent lives you've got to know and know properly. None of you will go to America, none of you will be film stars. And none of you will be working in supermarkets as I heard some of you planning the other day. Your lives are set out for you. You'll become adults, then before you're old, before you're even middle-aged, you'll start to donate your vital organs. That's what each of you was created to do. you're not like the actors you watch on your video, you're not even like me. You were brought into this world for a purpose, and your futures, all of them, have been decided. So you're not to talk that way any more. You'll be leaving Hailsham before long, and it's not so far off, the day you'll be preparing for your first donations. You need to remember that. If you're to have decent lives, you have to know who you are and what lies ahead of you, every one of you.

I've began a new novel, called Never Let Me Go. It's about the government raising children in an isolated school to one day harvest their organs. It's amazingly fascinating, so I think I'll stay up the rest of the night finishing it.. yes, well, that's about all. Back to reading!
