Horror Stories: Unsolved Mysteries

I Escaped Hell Twice. This Is How

Something is using this body to talk to you, a voice from beyond the living, borrowing a host that has been decomposing for weeks. This entity escaped a place with no exits twice, and now, with its deadline approaching, it reveals what happens to every single person who dies. What is this place, and how does one escape it?

In this episode, you will hear a firsthand account of the afterlife, a place called Dis, where there is no light at the end of the tunnel, only a city of mud-black cobblestones and perpetual rain. Discover the brutal reality of rebirth, the scarcity of resources, and the terrifying inhabitants of a city that defies all expectations of the underworld.

Narrator: A non-living entity
Location: Dis
Status: Escaped twice
Experience: Afterlife survival
Condition: Decomposing host

- The afterlife begins with a wet sac splitting open, dropping a body onto a street of mud-black cobblestones in the city of Dis.
- In Dis, when someone dies, they are reborn minutes later in the same body they had at the moment of death, with accumulated injuries.
- The city of Dis has no lake of fire or horned overseer; its architecture is unsettling, and rain carries constant disease.
- New arrivals are often attacked for their fresh bodies, as calories are everything in Dis.
- Skin Street, a road with no turns, is lined with strips of cured skin used by its inhabitants as bait and cover for ambushes.
