You are in a room.
It is a bedroom.
Fast drying cement is advancing
through the door.
The cement has filled the room
before the bedroom.
It was an identical bedroom.
Before the first bedroom
was a tunnel
now filled with cement.
It had a diameter of 60 centimeters.
You had to crawl to get through.
After the tunnel
were seven metal doors
crushed by cement.
This was four meters below a cellar.
The cellar was less than 20
meters squared.
All of this was below a residential building.
It will soon be 215 meters squared of
cement
and you.
