It's a strange feeling, being so utterly surrounded by her. Her life scent is on everything. She's on me and under me and next to me. It's as if the entire room is made out of her.

But it does make me sad that we've forgotten our names. Out of everything, this seems to me the most tragic. I miss my own and I mourn for everyone else's, because I'd like to love them, but I don't know who they are.

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.

Isaac Marion
How do I appear unthreatening when her lover's blood is running down my chin?
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
My favorite songs change every year.
Isaac Marion
Soft flesh is eaten by hard teeth.
Isaac Marion
One mistake, one brief lapse of my new found judgement-that's all it took to unravel everything. What a massive responsibility, being a moral creature.
Isaac Marion
If there are rules, we're the ones making them. We can change them whenever we want to.
Isaac Marion
...thinking all this maximalism would somehow generate happiness?
Isaac Marion
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
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.
