No praise, no blame. Just so.
Isaac Marion
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.

Isaac Marion
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
I want to change my punctuation. I long for exclamation marks, but I'm drowning in ellipses.
Isaac Marion
...wanting change is step one, but step two is taking it.
Isaac Marion
Here it comes. My inevitable death, ignoring me all those years when I wished for it daily, arriving only after I've decided I want to live forever.
Isaac Marion
We have to remember everything. If we don't, by the time we grow up it'll be gone forever.
Isaac Marion
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.
Isaac Marion
What's the point of trying to fix a world we're so briefly in?
Isaac Marion
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
Deep under our feet the Earth holds its molten breath, while the bones of countless generations watch us and wait.
Isaac Marion
It’s sad to see them staring wistfully through the window when the door isn’t locked.
