Not if the presence growing inside him is the 're-incarnation' of the  
Kieselghur Kid on the verge of being reborn. The forces invisible, at  
work [as] above and below the surfaces, cannot be extinguished by  
killing any one surface figure. This epiphany is another Jeshimon- 
style reversal. ReefeeR has descended into Hades. The ghosts of  
Aztlan are whistling like eagle-threatened marmots above him  
(214:29-30), and each day closes with 'Bedtime For Corpso.' The  
Kieselghur Kid is modeled after the Bob 'character' on Twin Peaks, an  
invisible demon who initially possessed Laura's father then shocked  
the nation in the grand finale:

It's not a shock, and I'm really not expressing moral tsk-tsking.  But
the text's account of his epiphany makes one expect a serious
