Does it? How could it matter to you if you can't even tell if it happened to
you last night? In my humble opinion if something remembers being Damien
Broderick then Damien Broderick is not dead. It's like those "horror"
stories where at the end you discover the hero is really dead, perhaps I'm
missing a few vital neurons but even as kid watching them on the old
Twilight Zone I could never figure out where the horror was in that. I'd be
astounded and delighted to discover I was dead because the very fact that I
could discover anything would mean death was not all it was cracked up to
be; but maybe I'm crazy because almost nobody seems to understand what I'm
talking about.
