32->''I reached into his mouth, past his gnashing teeth, and [[TongueTrauma pulled out his tongue]]. He reached for it as I extracted it, so [[AndShowItToYou I handed it to him]]. Blood and drool flowed from his mouth and colored the red ground even redder about him. Then, one by one, I broke his arms and legs, then I broke each of the vertebrae in his backbone, moving up his spinal column with quick pinches. It didn't take long.''

I killed him in such a way that he would never come to life again, not in any possible place, not in any possible time. I wiped Marek Lambrois from existence. Thoroughly. And with his death, [[PsychicLink the other glims died]], like lights going out, lights ceasing to exist, bulb, filament and all. Or like the quick loss of all sensation after a brain is snuffed out.''

37->The second death is the death of not being born. It is rather controversial among us, for it throws into doubt all the scientific theories currently extant about our very natures.

It is the true death, the destruction of mind and body, and unlike [[LaserGuidedAmnesia the Forgetting]], there is no coming back from it, no healing of mental pathways. It is simply the end.
