Lockridge And Matuchek

Stopped in the time corridor by the mental onslaught of the time wardens, Malcolm Lockridge:

loses all his senses;
becomes a disembodied point in eternity and infinite space;
knows a horrific presence that negates everything - cold, dark, hollow;
is sucked into a vortex;
is not.

In Operation Chaos, Steve Matuchek:

is nowhere and nowhen;
is bodiless in infinite eternal dark, cold and emptiness;
despairs;
is a point in spacetime;
is all that exists;
is under the regard of the egotistic Solipsist;
hears the Solipsist's thoughts, like hearing and drowning in the polar ocean;
feels a forceful malevolence.
