I notice faint scars on her wrists and forearms, thin lines too symmetrical to be accidents.
Isaac Marion
Image
Deep under our feet the Earth holds its molten breath, while the bones of countless generations watch us and wait.

It's more eerie to be alone in a city that's lit up and functioning than one that's a tomb. If everything were silent, one could almost pretend to be in nature. A forest. A meadow. Crickets and birdsong. But the corpse of civilization is as restless as the creatures that now roam the graveyards.

Image
Once again the absurdity of my inner thoughts overwhelms me, and I want to crawl out of my skin, escape my ugly, awkward flesh and be a skeleton, naked and anonymous.

I would like my life to be a movie so I could cut to a montage.

My favorite songs change every year.
Isaac Marion
Image
I can feel it... the chance to start over, to live right, to love right, to burn up in a fiery cloud and never again be buried in the mud.
Isaac Marion
Image
It frustrates and fascinates me that we'll never know for sure, that despite the best efforts of historians and scientists and poets, there are some things we'll just never know. What the first song sounded like. How it felt to see the first photograph. Who kissed the first kiss, and if it was any good.

The kind of stuff I usually read is a bit more on the literary side, like books that I think are influential in the sense that they're doing pulpy subject matter in a refined way. Like 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, I loved that book.

She is Living and I'm Dead, but I'd like to believe we're both human. Call me an idealist.

There’s not really such thing as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ people, there’s just like…humanity. And it gets broken sometimes.
Isaac Marion
Image
It’s sad to see them staring wistfully through the window when the door isn’t locked.
Isaac Marion
Image
When the entire world is built on death and horror, when existence is a constant state of panic, it's hard to get worked up about any one thing. Specific fears have become irrelevant. We've replace them with a smothering blanket far worse.
Isaac Marion
Image
If there are rules, we're the ones making them. We can change them whenever we want to.
Isaac Marion
Image
You can order yourself to treasure a moment, to cling tight to a feeling and never let it fade, but it's your brain, that three-pound lump of hamburger, that makes the final call.
Isaac Marion
Image
...thinking all this maximalism would somehow generate happiness?
Isaac Marion
Image
I want a new past,new memories, a new first handshake with love. I want to start over in every possible way.
Isaac Marion
Image
That's why we have memory. And the opposite of memory— hope. So things that are gone can still matter. So we can built off our pasts and make future.

Image
I crush her against me. I want to be part of her. Not just inside her but all around her. I want our rib cages to crack open and our hearts to migrate and merge. I want our cells to braid together like living thread.

I'm not a general or a colonel or a builder of cities. I'm just a corpse who wants not to be.
