* [[Discworld]] does this a bit (except in cases of definite reincarnation), though it shows varying amounts of the journey. In ''Mort'', for instance, Death and Mort send off an assassinated king, who slowly vanishes from view while they're still in his castle. "What happened to him?" asks Mort. Death replies, {{smallcapssmall-caps|Only he knows.}} In later books, such as ''Small Gods'' and ''A Hat Full of Sky'', we're treated to descriptions a vast, silvery desert, which the deceased must cross before reaching their final destination.
** There is no consistent afterlife in Discworld, as it's explicitly stated that each person's afterlife experience is based on their personal beliefs.
* In [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[The Dead Zone]]'', when the protagonist falls into a coma, he ends up in a limbo, which is like a corridor with dark chromed steel walls. He eventually comes out of the corridor and returns to life. At the end, when he dies, he returns to the corridor, not knowing if there's something at the end of it.
