The Brain from Planet Arous
After I'm gone, your earth will be free to live out the rest of its miserable span of existence - as one of my satellites - and that's how it's going to be.
Jonathan Ball
- Life Goes On - Farewell
Our eyes meet, and all the sadness I felt radiate from him earlier is nothing compared to the miserable agony that is now concentrated in his eyes, a concentrated bolt of grief and dejection that burns into mine and leaves me feeling like everything within my body has vanished and has left a cold vacuum in its place. His eyes are now empty. His body has gone limp except for his grip on my arm, which is somehow even stronger.
Jonathan Ball
- Tabula Rasa - Written in Pen
Life is written in pen. We cannot go back and erase our mistakes. We can, however, cross things out. We can acknowledge that our lives began to take a certain path, but now we choose to take a different path. We are forced to keep the scars of our past, but the depth of those scars depends on how thoroughly those previous markings are scratched out. Sometimes we can even get our hands on some whiteout and cover up old parts of ourselves in order to write in something new and fresh.
