Hell: witnessing the saved and comprehending the fact of separation, followed by definitive oblivion. Perhaps that final agonised glimpse lasts an eternity. Perhaps that pain is precisely the fulfilment of damnation.

Nor, to a person of conventional sexuality, does masochism, but it has a rigorous logic of its own. The idea is that the damned get what they want--and may even experience eternity.
