Well the last thing Damon had remembered back in
1998 was relaxing in his bath tub enjoying the steamy hot salted water.
Then a shadow had passed behind him and the
supercharged radio had plunged off a shelf and electrocuted him.
Even that might not have killed him but a gloved hand,a femine gloved hand,
had held him under the water
till he was dead.
Then the apparent murderess had slipped out of Damon's apartment
the Landlord had come in
seen the sightless face of Damon unless the water in the bathtub
and run back into the hall screaming.
Though Damon hadn't known it at the
time
being dead
Max Wiffel had snuck in
stolen the body and put
Damon on ice for twenty years.
In twenty years a lot had changed and Monica had been charged
with the murder
and did 19 years in Womens Prison for a murder
she swore she had never committed.
So when Monica had been released,she was bitter and angry
and had long since come to hate
the word "Damon"
Monica wanted to find the real killer.
She contacted Max Wiffel,who showed
her Damon's body
in a block of ice.
Monica asked Max if Damon could be revived
and would he remember the last
minute or so before he died.
Alas even if Max could revive Damon
the cellular damage would cause
Damon to die a second death within
three minutes of revival.
Unless
The revived Damon was injected with a special death suppressing
serum in that three minute time frame.
The good news was Nightmare Serum # 45 would extend Damons life
by years.
The bad news was that Damons memories of those last few minutes
before he'd died
would be wiped clean.
And so Monica stood in the shadows of the barn as
her long dead lover was brought back to life
and given
Nightmare Serum 45 immediately afterwards.
Then,a bitter cold 40 year old Monica stared at the
twenty year old Damon and felt even more bitter.
After all he was still 20
and she had spent the last
19 of 20 years in a
tough tough tough womens prison
for a murder she hadn't committed.
Damon smiled at her as he though he recognized her
"Monica?" he said uncertainly
and her reply was to slap him hard across the face
and snarl "Bastard!"
back at him
