Seeing all of this, Antigone/Malala’s uncle is desperate, but things only get worse. His adopted son, not capable of witnessing any more deaths, with old war scars and phobias bursting to the surface of his psyche, with Malala on his arms, witnessing her last words and her death, takes a gun and shots himself in a suicidal frenzy. All of that happens before the eyes of the Antigone/Malala’s uncle.

The last image of the play is of the American soldiers trying to support the old man who can hardly walk and stand, as if in a delirium after having seen the death of his son and niece. The American soldiers try to comfort him, but he just says he's going to leave, that he will isolate himself in the desert to die (he doesn’t even show any hate for the soldiers, he cannot see, in his pain and shock, that this man that are offering their hands and support to him are members of the party of the enemies he hated so much just a few hours ago).

This is the plot (in raw and initial form) of the piece that I intend to write.

Copypasting from another thread:

>I just realised that what I am writing is a very "niche" thing. Pretentious and depravate, but honest at the same time. In fact, I don't even know who would like to read a fantastic story about an epic journey, full of pedo ideas, overrated concepts like the "Dark Night of the Soul", and political allegories. It will never be published, and even if I am able to do it, it would be a social suicide.
>I'll introduce myself in the story, in the form of a (some kind of) dog that accompanies and lurks our little protagonist.

I'm going to be driving for about 10 hours over the next few days. What are some good audiobooks to listen to during the drive?

A contraction follows it's own rules. You cannot simply uncontract (is that even a word?) a contraction and expect it to be equivalent grammatically to the contraction.

Wiki the word Clitic, might help out.

tldr; "Isn't it" is grammatically correct since contractions follow their own rules. Basically they are considered words of their own.
