descriptions of the afterlife? ive never heard of anyone going there and coming back except in fairy tales. i think more like descriptions of peoples imaginations gone wild is what you're asking for. sounds like bullshit to me.

I WOULD NOT CALL IT AN "INTERESTING DESCRIPTION" BUT IT IS THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE "AFTERLIFE". THE NOPLACE FROM WHERE THE NARRATOR OF THE SHORT STORY BY DAVID FOSTER WALLACE ENTITLED "GOOD OLD NEON", NARRATES.
