Possible TW- crawling out if a grave? And claustrophobia




He woke up.

There was nothing but swallowing darkness.

He did not know where he was, all he knew is that he needed to Get out.

He began scratching away at the soft fabric in front of him.

Get out.

But what if he couldn't?

Panic set in, he tried to scream but no sound came out.

Get out.

A voice at the back of his mind told him that panic wouldn't help. He tried to calm down.

He eventually torn away the soft fabric, there was hard wood to get through now.

Get out.

The voice told the boy that he should find something to pry away the wood, something durable like metal.

That's right, a belt.

His shaking hands took off his belt and started to poke a hole in the lid. He gasped when he felt something small nicked him

Ah, splinter, don't worry Al will fix that.

Al?...His eyes had adjusted to the darkness, when suddenly something hit his face... dirt?

Shaking the dirt out of his eyes, the boy dug at the wood, making it bigger.

Good job, now. . .

He swallowed back the bile that was threatening to come.

Get. Out.

The boy lunged through the dirt and stones, desperately swimming through the twigs and bugs. His hands were digging and his mind was strangely empty.

Was that normal?

It doesn't matter, because the boy had finally escaped. His hands hoisted the boy upward and onto the ground. Heaving for air the boy stayed there for a while, he wasn't sure how long..maybe that was a side effect of. . . something. . clownish? There weren't many things he could recall except for . . .

Tears had been falling down his face the entire time.

The boy looked at his hands which were streaked with scarlet, there were small crevices where nails should have been.

He staggered upwards and warily turned around. The headstone in front said:

Here lies Jason Todd.

He couldn't read the rest, it was too hard. He couldn't think straight, but he knew his name and a mission.

Jason Todds' new mission was

To tell the big man he said hello.
