I made a fatal error thinking he could save me.
Jenny Downham

Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears. We are blessed. Let them all go. The sound of a bird flying low across the garden. Then nothing. Nothing. A cloud passes. Nothing again. Light falls through the window, falls onto me, into me. Moments. All gathering towards this one.

Was this love? Because it hurt. It was like a bit of glass stuck somewhere important--his heart or his head, and it was throbbing.

I shrug him off. 'Can't you just go away? There's a moment. It has a sound in it, as if something very small got broken.

Every few years we disappear, Zoey. All our cells are replaced by others. Not a single bit of me is the same as when I was last in this room.

Image
I wish I had a boyfriend. I wish he lived in the wardrobe on a coat hanger. Whenever I wanted, I could get him out and he'd look at me the way boys do in films, as if I'm beautiful.

She'll understand what I already know - that death surrounds us all. And it tastes like metal between your teeth.
Jenny Downham
Image
. . . my bones they'll burn or bury. It'll be my death.
Jenny Downham
Image
Every seven years our bodies change, every cell. Every seven years, we disappear.
Jenny Downham
Image
I want you to be with me in the dark. To hold me. To keep loving me. To help me when I get scared. To come right to the edge and see what's there.

As an actor I worked for seven years with a community theater company based in London. We used improvisation techniques to take stories to young people who wouldn't normally have access to them - in prisons, hospitals, young offender's units, youth clubs and housing estates.

We make patterns, we share moments.

Life is made up of a series of moments, each one a journey to the end.

I want to die in my own way. It's my illness, my death, my choice. This is what saying yes means.

Hold my hand. Don't let go.
