Just to let everyone know I'm still here!
Opening eyes to the dark void, an endless abyss of shadow and death. The very whites blotted out by the suns denial. Irises dilate and drink in the blackness.
A struggled gasp and raspy breath as air flows again. Lungs inflate and muscles rise in a rhythmic beat again.
The single sound of blood pumping fiercely with renewed life. Veins pulsing with energy and arteries flexing their muscle.
The darkness does not recede and the blind panic ensues. Hands shakily scramble to raise the tense body.
A smack on the head, the sound of wood, the dull thud. Then the faint whisper of soil trickling through the cracks.
Sputtering grit and clawing at the wooden ceiling begins. Unheard shouts drown out frantic breathing.
Fingers bleed, nails dislodge and hope wanes. Slowly the air begins to leave, lungs begin to sleep.
Not dead but alive. Now buried alive.
