Quote For The Day

    “See how the sun makes it all glow. The kind of day that makes you feel good to be alive.”
                             {Two - Arrival THEPRIS6NER}
    I suppose it does, make it all glow. But I’m not so sure that it makes one glad to be alive in The Village. But then I suppose the opposite to being alive in The Village, would be dead in The Village!
    Everyone in The Village is a prisoner, yet it would seem that only Six knows this. People are brought to The Village, people who are broken mentally, to be made better. But there was nothing g broken about Six, all he had done was to resign. But Curtis-Two couldn't have that, because he had better things in mind for Michael Six. He was to be Curtis-Two’s successor, someone to hand The Village over to, and Two could not escape until he had achieved that goal. Mind you, in having escaped The Village, both Curtis and Helen lost their son. A son who physically did not exist. What heartache they must have felt after having gone to so much trouble so that they could have a son 11-12. Who grew up to be a disappointment to his father, because he grew up to be a homosexual, when Two was expecting 11-12 to provide an heir to The Village. And worse, 11-12 suffocated his mother to death! Well the woman who he thought was his mother M2, and then 11-12 hanged himself in the ‘Go-Inside’ bar. Somethings never change in The Village, suicide still rates pretty highly. Before that there was 1955, a school teacher, who in an act of despair slit his own throat! Not forgetting 4-15, the woman who was going to marry Six. She committed Village death {suicide} by throwing herself into one of those holes which kept opening up in The Village.
    The Prisoner witnessed Village death soon after his arrival in The Village, when the Solar café was blown up, and the waitress 455 was killed in the explosion.
    Sometimes when I step outside into the sunshine during the summer months, and think to myself, see how the sun makes it all glow, the kind of day that makes you feel good to be alive. It is not just quotes from the original series that I can appreciate.

Breathe in, breathe out, Village life goes on.
Be seeing you
