#i'm not a pseudointellectual *stares into the camera*

[thefiresofpompeii]

riffing off of ligotti: considering the fact that all life on earth, but even earlier than that, sapient life, is inevitably predestined to come to an end (whether that be in ten years or ten billion), it can be said that we are all doomed by the narrative, dead from the beginning since we are aware that all that we create is not eternal, not able to outlast its own finale.

in that respect, the entire planet is a haunted house, and we – people, all those blessed with cognition and emotion – are the hollow spectres that stalk its corridors.
