“Once, I was sitting down. I closed my eyes. Suddenly, in the darkness, I forgot what -everything- was. Even myself. There was just all this sensory input but zero interpretation. People were talking, I heard sounds, but had no idea it was talking, or what talking was, or even that I was. There was a vague sense of having forgotten something important, and that was about all that was left of my mind. I felt senses, but had no way to cause them to cohere. There were zero memories. No interpretation whatsoever.”
