weird incest at the beginning but then it gets better

A large, high-ceilinged building found north of the destroyed housing unit, the mess hall consists of two rooms. The first is a wide open space containing several long bench tables, bolted to the floor. The other is a spacious kitchen, as would be expected for a building that had to cater for a large number of miners. A large window between the two rooms once allowed food to be passed out as soon as it was ready, all the better to quickly sate the hunger of the workers after a long day.

She watched the life leak out and pool on the floor, watched the breathing slow and stop like an engine running out of gas. At some point, the light was extinguished and another empty vessel was all that was left behind in a room full of silence.

She swung her legs over the side of the table and set her feet down on the floor. It didn't open up to greet her, didn't fall away in chunks to herald the end. It stayed solid. She crouched down and touched the floor, cold and damp.

Her hand pulled back from the wall and rested against her chest.

It was still silent.

Slowly rising she picked up her bag from where it rested on the table and left through the door.
