When your body is dying, and your brain is shutting down...you lose ALL outside input.

You have no point of reference. All that exists in your entire universe are the rapidly decreasing firing of your synapses.

As your brain shuts down, it tries vainly to organize some form of organized activity, and you dream...a dream that can stretch an instant into an entire afterlife.

Now fuck off.
