An absence of external stimuli, nothingness but basic life functions until the brain re-engages. That's not the case with the undead of course. The touch of a wraith, a spectre's grasp -- these are things that pierce through to another part of you, beyond your brain, beyond your body. They pierce through to the part that experiences pain. Constant pain.Mr Aldershot, lying unconscious, does not move and does not twitch. His brain has not engaged. But you must not think that he isn't screaming to get out, to come back to the surface, to have surcease of pain, and to forget the torment he currently endures.</blockquote>
