The last days on Ellis Island read as a sad memory of a lost love and the dissociation that followed after. It's an emotional read, which makes you feel as hollow as the Director. Tormented by bad memories he writes about the many things he observed. Hoping to leave them behind on the island. But will he? Is it possible to forget the thing he did? Scared of what life might be off the island, he wonders how it will be to trade in his lonely life. But he is cursed. Fire and water.
