‘God, if I knew there was a magical, one-eyed, sodomizing vampire out there, I’d be terrified!’ - Eli

The tides are coming up: a wave just swept over this sandcastle’s wall. Eli’s departure yesterday made me realise how close to leaving I am myself - how fast time flew. Four days to go now.

I tried writing about how important he'd been to my time on the island. It ended up sounding like a funeral speech.

All I want to say is that I'll see you soon old man. I'm sure.
