the bunker

You're prepared to die - perhaps you're about to get killed at night, watching your killers' eyes grow gradually more and more unfocused, or perhaps you're snatched out of your car after the vote. But you don't. Instead, the world starts spinning and then everything goes black.

You come to standing upright in a decontamination shower. Step out of the shower, and you'll find a towel and a set of folded clothes. Outside the shower room is a hallway of numbered doors, each which is heavy and may only be opened by turning a wheel, and each containing a simple cot, sink, and toilet. Instead one of these doors, you'll find a box containing some of your personal items.

Besides the many doors to rooms, the building you're in has a large storage area stocked with canned and dried food and more bottled water. There's only a single, tiny stove to cook on, but there is a large amount of gasoline stockpiled for it. There are no windows here, and it's dark, only dimly lit by sparse electric lighting.

At the end of the hall is a control room, with comfortable chairs to sit in and a screen from which the park can be monitored. There is actually, in a chest left behind in this room, some expensive vodka and snacks. You can watch what is happening back in the park. One thing is clear - everyone believes you to be dead, but that corpse they're looking at is not yours.

That's because it's not.

[Don't mind Ishtar over here, looking spooky in his robes. He's barely even paying attention to the new arrives.]

How can you be sure of that, exactly?

Besides the fact we can watch you guys running around like chickens without heads on the screens over there? [He points towards the control room.]

Nothing about the afterlife involves a bunker. [Now do you want him to get into the Ancient Egyptian specifics or not. Because he'll do it.]

Well, I've never been to any sort of afterlife. These specifics weren't mentioned, but I can't rule out the possibility that they were overlooked in the more common descriptions.
