Music? Music is life! It’s physical emotion - you can touch it! It’s neon ecto-energy sucked out of spirits and switched into sound waves for your ears to swallow. Are you telling me, what, that it’s boring? You don’t have time for it?

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
It's not like I'm such a shiny happy person either, you know? I'm a wreck too, I'm just... still alive.
Isaac Marion
Image
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
Image
...thinking all this maximalism would somehow generate happiness?
Isaac Marion
Image
I can no longer believe in any voodoo spell or laboratory virus. This is something deeper, darker. This comes from the cosmos, from the stars, or the unknown blackness behind them. The shadows in God's boarded-up basement.
Isaac Marion
Image
Are we all just Dark Age doctors, swearing by our leeches? We crave a greater science. We want to be proven wrong.

Image
How do I appear unthreatening when her lover's blood is running down my chin?
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.

What happened? How did I get here? How could I have known that my choices mattered?
