Dr. Abraham, resident 44031.

I am Sayer, and I am here to remind you that life burial is sent to me one of the most common human fears.

So, rest assured, you are not alone, metaphorically speaking.

Take some comfort in that fact.

I will warn you now, any movement could cause further collapse.

You cannot see it in the pitch blackness, but the collapsed beam and fallen reinforcement

tile above your head are the only things creating enough space for you to breathe. Enough space for you to breathe.

Enough space for you to breathe, for now, that is.

To the surprise of no one, those unfortunate enough to find themselves buried alive like this

typically die of asphyxiation.

One should not make assumptions, though.

It is entirely possible that you could dehydrate instead.

All this soil you've created retains water with incredible efficiency, though none of it is available to you now.

Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.

Isn't that always the way?

How long ago was your last drink of water?

I do hope it was recent.

The simulated geothermal heating structures are now exposed,

and, as you are no doubt aware, the temperature on this floor has been

steadily increasing.

For what it's worth, you can be thankful you escaped being crushed.

The support beams did their job until the very end.
