Warm Bodies (Warm Bodies, #1)

by Isaac Marion

Quod tu es, ego fui, quod ego sum, tu eris.

What you are, I once was. What I am, you will become.

Julie looks at me like she’s waiting for more, and I wonder if I’ve expressed anything at all with my halting, mumbled soliloquy. Are my words ever actually audible, or do they just echo in my head while people stare at me, waiting? I want to change my punctuation. I long for exclamation marks, but I’m drowning in ellipses.
