“Report on Existence vs Non-Existence of the Afterlife:
1. Does Hell exist?
2. If Hell exists, is it a forest?”

A dark green moodboard of crumbling houses in a forest with the following overlaid text: Report on Existence vs Non-Existence of the Afterlife PROBLEM 1. Does Hell exist? 2. If Hell exists, is it a forest? BACKGROUND 1. Given that the experimenter had been headed for a public or semi-public execution; 2. Observing that they could currently hear leaves rustling and feel cold water filling their patent leather oxfords to the socked toes; 3. Given that they had never believed in much of any religion, or any kind of sensation after death, much less water; 4. It is not unreasonable to assume that this may be Hell.
