intro: marcus personified death to convey his ideas …. quote “Its the leftover humans. the suvivors. There the ones I cant stand to look at

“It kills me sometimes, how people die.” 

“I am haunted by humans.”

It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on…” 

I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race

“His soul sat up. It met me. Those kinds of souls always do – the best ones. The ones who rise up and say “I know who you are and I am ready. Not that I want to go, of course, but I will come.” 

I’ve seen so many young men over the years who think they’re running at other young men. They are not. They are running at me.”
