The tomb's heavy air clung thick with the reek of decay and stale grease. Where a majestic god once stood vigil, a mountain of slick, black flesh now slumped upon a throne of refuse. Anubis, the former towering deity of death, had become a doughy, adipose slob, his blubbery thighs trembling with each wheezing breath. His sanctuary, once pristine, was now a landfill of garbage, lurid posters, and crumpled wrappers. The sickly flicker of a flat-screen TV glazed his swollen potbelly in pallid light, while the stench of his own filth mingled with the ghost of cheap takeout. He was no longer the guardian of the afterlife, but a hedonistic couch potato, his divine power leaching away as he sank ever deeper into a gluttonous, indolent existence.
