PANEL 1
LUKE: THE THING WAS, YOU SEE, MY BODY WAS DEAD BUT MY MIND WAS ALIVE.
LUKE: FOR A MOMENT THERE, I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT MUST BE THE WAY IT IS.
LUKE: IMAGINE THAT: OUR BODIES DIE BUT OUR MINDS LIVE ON, TRAPPED IN DEAD MEAT.

PANEL 2
LUKE: I MEAN, PLAY WITH THAT IDEA FOR A MINUTE: CEMETERIES STACKED HIGH WITH DEAD BODIES FILLING WITH LIVING CONSCIOUSNESSES. AND WE NEVER KNEW.
LUKE: HOW HORRIBLE WOULD THAT BE? IF OUR MINDS WERE IMMORTAL?

PANEL 3
LUKE: HOW QUICKLY WOULD YOU GO MAD? THE DIRT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD JUST RAMMED WITH INSANE HUMAN MINDS.
LUKE: WOULDN’T THAT EXPLAIN THE WORLD? IF WE WERE HAVING TO LIVE IN A FIELD OF INSANITY THAT JUST GOT STRONGER EVERY SINGLE TIME WE BURIED SOMEONE?

PANEL 4
LUKE: A FEW MOMENTS LATER, IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT PERHAPS… PERHAPS THAT’S TOO VILE TO BE TRUE, EVEN IN A WORLD LIKE OURS.
LUKE: PERHAPS THERE ARE TWO DEATHS. FIRST, THE PHYSICAL, AND THEN A SLOW DISSIPATION OF OUR MINDS, ELECTRICAL FIELDS GRADUALLY BEING GROUNDED BY THE EARTH.
LUKE: FADING AWAY.
