The pain from his injuries had vanished, the wounds healed completely. Confused, he looked down at his clothing, grey and comfortable but otherwise useless. He'd been wearing stolen Necromonger armor... where did that go? And his goggles had been off, but now they were on, shielding his sensitive eyes from the bright overhead light. He fingered the yellow happy face patch on his shirt. I've died and gone to hell. But he didn't remember dying. Or going to sleep, for that matter.
