...although she was too young to suffer the consequences of the corporate world. Sally or Sal`, as her friends used to call her, still exists, but, unfortunately, her thoughts will be missed. She is, from now on, a perfectly idiotic person. It`s utterly saddening...
She used to look like this back in the good days of her life, and had quite an appealing interest in purebred horses, the kind you only see up-close at police cavalry parades or on TV, when the Queen of England leaves the Royal Palace to feel closer to her people and get the taste of that fine British weather. Also, black was her choice of colour when using her unfashionably large amounts of makeup to bring out those big chestnut eyes, that, when gazed upon, revealed a more profound side of this caring, lovely and somewhat intelligently silly person that she was. You could say her clothes adorned a dash of colour here and there, but, mostly they were a type of blank, greyish canvas on witch to brush small manifestations of life, as she called those tastefully sewed patches of coloured material.
But nowadays, it seems sad, and, rest assured, sad it is nonetheless, how her automatically "post-cut" (a corporate term) shipped, free of charge, out of the box "Levy's boyfriend", and her new self, relentlessly deny her that long lost passion for those little things that made Sally the human being she used to walk the earth as. "You put those things behind you long ago darling", he always says. And, sadly, so does she, in the few moments of clairvoyance when she indulges in talking to herself. "You have me now, we have each other, and no horse can change that", he is also known to reply, as does her new self. And so, they really are, one would say, if one was an employee of the Levy's clothing Co., a genuine "Levy's perfect idiotic couple", as they should be. But no, not for the financial benefit of the company, no, but because it defines them in a way they never would have imagined clothing ever could...
There is one thing the company couldn`t bring Sally to drop, along with her head full of childish, but highly imaginative ideas, all of which were neatly tucked in her sparkling intelligent mind. And that was the memory incorporated, no, better yet, the memory conscientiously incarcerated, so to speak, inside the mind of her remaining, "uncut" cells (corporate term - usually utilised in other contexts, for example when referring to those potential customers, that have not yet been "democratically persuaded"), that refused to give up the very person they sintered together to form, every second of Sally` s short but joyful "pre-life" (another corporate term - an abominable inside joke really, if you asked me; suggesting that life only begins after you become a "satisfied customer"). Or, to put it in more humane words, every second of the life that she once had.
No, they couldn`t. I mean, they could have, but, at what cost one would ask? At the cost of losing a subject to the not yet financially integrated after-life market? No, that was out of the question.
As a solution, the one Sally came to make use of in the end, they designed lots of beautifully coloured standardised "cut-concealers" (yet another corporate term) that also appealed to the other "satisfied" consumers (the expression "brain washed" comes to mind), and gave them a sense of well-being and the power to take the world, well, for lack of a better word, "head on"...
