Coffee: Space.

We have always thought about space. It is a vast unknown region that we truly do not understand. I saw this movie, Dead Space: Downfall, which is a prequel to the video game. It spoke of an alien race that used the bodies of humans to infect with their own alien life forms. The basis of their culture was only to spread the infection and control the masses. The end of the movie was quite moving. It made me think of all the other possibilities we haven't even thought of yet. It also made me a little depressed knowing that there is so much out there that we will never get to. Everything in space is getting further apart and the chances of us finding other life forms may never happen. It is disappointing to be the only life beings in this universe, so far that is. We are the only ones, drifting further in to the nothingness that is dark matter. It's a very sombre, miserable yet unfathomably beautiful notion. The stars have their own life cycle and shine as though they are telling their secrets. The end of the movie had the main character push a button to open the doors to space and suck out all the evil creatures. She held on for a few seconds after the door had opened and then let go. The hardest thing to learn in life is to let go and accept. She fought extremely hard to save the ship yet in the end she had to die, like we all have to die. She drifted ever so slowly amongst the stars and the last thing she though of was this song:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
 
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!


 
This is probably the way i would want to go out.
