Howling Through The Night

GWEN

So what's out there? [Suzie had just been resurrected and Gwen was asking her what it was like when she died.]


SUZIE

Nothing. Just nothing.


GWEN

But... but if there's nothing, what's the point of it all?


SUZIE

This is. Driving through the dark. All these stupid tiny stuff. We're just animals howling in the night. Because it's better than silence. I used to think Torchwood, all those aliens coming to Earth. What the hell for? It's just instinct. They come here 'cos there's life, that's all. Moths around a flame. Creatures clinging together in the cold.


GWEN

So when you die, it's just--


SUZIE

Darkness.
