It's rare that I read more than two or three books by any one author, usually only one.
Isaac Marion
Image
I'm not a general or a colonel or a builder of cities. I'm just a corpse who wants not to be.
Isaac Marion
Image
What's wrong with people? she says, almost too quiet for me to hear. Were they born with parts missing or did it fall out somewhere along the way?
Isaac Marion
Image
You know things are moving. You're changing, you fellow Dead are changing, the world is ready for something miraculous. What are we waiting for?
Isaac Marion
Image
If there are rules, we're the ones making them. We can change them whenever we want to.
Isaac Marion
Image
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.

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.

We are where we are, however we got here. What matters is where we go next.

Every time I go to sleep, I know I may never wake up. How could anyone expect to? You drop your tiny, helpless mind into a bottomless well, crossing your fingers and hoping when you pull it out on its flimsy fishing wire it hasn't been gnawed to bones by nameless beasts below.
Isaac Marion
Image
Once you've arrived at the end of the world, it hardly matters which route you took.
Isaac Marion
Image
You should always be taking pictures, if not with a camera then with your mind. Memories you capture on purpose are always more vivid than the ones you pick up by accident.
Isaac Marion
Image
I think we crushed ourselves down over the centuries. Buried ourselves under greed and hate and whatever other sins we could find until our souls finally hit the rock bottom of the universe. And then they scraped a hole through it, into some ... darker place.
Isaac Marion
Image
I want life and in all its stupid sticky rawness.
Isaac Marion
Image
I don't want to hear music, I don't want the sunrise to be pink. The world is a liar. Its ugliness is overwhelming the scraps of beauty make it worse.
Isaac Marion
Image
What happened? How did I get here? How could I have known that my choices mattered?
Isaac Marion
Image
I want to change my punctuation. I long for exclamation marks, but I'm drowning in ellipses.
Isaac Marion
Image
What happened to the world was gradual. I've forgotten what it actually was, but I have faint, fetal memories of what it was like. A smoldering dread that never really caught fire till there wasn't much left to burn. Each sequential step surprised us. Then one day we woke up, and everything was gone.

We have to remember everything. If we don't, by the time we grow up it'll be gone forever.
