BACK FROM THE DEAD

"It is a very mixed blessing to be brought back from the dead."- Kurt Vonnegut

Alex's Pov

A sharp pain shot through my head as I struggled to open my eyes, I was cold and felt sticky. I struggle to find out where I was, the ground felt wet and slimy. 

I took my time and felt around I came to the realization that I was covered under what looks like a tarp with dirt on top somewhere outside. Holy F**k I was buried, who the hell did this and why?

The last thing I remembered was being hit over the head with something hard then the place went dark, who was really trying to kill me? 

Maybe it was Kimiko but It could not have been as I was just with her before that happened.

I don't remember owing dark man any money for the molly I had took, so who was it that did this to me. 

Well thy tried to kill me but God has a different plan for me, I had a kid on the way and I will not die before I make things right with Kimiko and our child.

I pushed against the tarp and the dirt that covered me with all my strength, It was barely moving so I tried again and again and again. 

I was soon out of breath and there was barely any oxygen under here anyways I had to think strategically with the amount of oxygen I had.

I inhaled deeply and gave a big exhale while exerting all my remaining energy to push the taro and the dirt off me, I was successful. 

Looking around I saw that I was in some woods that I was not familiar with, I heard the sound of a car in the distance and followed the sound. I soon came across a highway and realized I was on highway 2000.

My attempted murderer was not too smart as I was not buried far enough and too close to the highway if I really died I would start smelling and then they would have easily found me. 

This adds another piece of the puzzle as to who this murderer was, someone that is not very bright.

As I stepped onto the road a loud truck horn startled me and I quickly jumped out of the way, I did not died by asphyxiation but would have died by a truck. 

Another bright light followed and I stood in the middle trying to flag it down, suddenly blue lights came on and I realized it was the police.

Thank God, I was definitely going to get help now, they slowed down and stopped beside me asking what I was doing out here and I explained what I could remember. 

They said I was really lucky and brought me to the nearest police station so I could change and get cleaned up and call my family.

I will find the person behind this and when I do they will be sorry I promise that.I made a call to Myles and told him what happened as well as asked him to pick me up at the Linstead police station. 

About 1 hour later he was pulling in the parking lot of the police station, I have never been so happy to see him before, a near death experience can do that for you.

"Hey brother I am happy to see that you are alive and well do you know who did this to you?" he asked with much concern. I cried in Myles' arms as he hugged me I was unable to form words but was very happy to be here.

"It's going to be okay Alex trust me," he said as he held my face in his hands reassuring me. I was only ever vulnerable around two people Myles and Miko, otherwise I am one hardcore son of a bitch.

"I just want to go home Myles I will tell you more when we get to the house, can I stay with you tonight I really don't want to be alone as everything makes me paranoid."

"Yeah sure, of course I am here for you buddy," he hugged me patting me on the back.We entered the car and drove to Kingston, I did not realize I fell asleep until I woke up to the sound of a siren. I was at the University of The West Indies hospital but why? I looked over at Myles and he said that I had to get my injuries looked and do an overall check up to make sure I was going to be okay.

I agreed and went into the hospital, we spent another hour running tests and doing ct scans. Everything came back fine just a mild concussion which I was given instructions to be on bed rest for the next three days and take the pain tablets that were given.

When we arrived at the house I greeted Mesha and we all sat in the living room talking about what happened with Miko and how I ended up buried in some woods off highway 2000. They were all in disbelief as they listened to the story that sounded like a slasher film.

After this long day I decided to go to sleep or at least try to, each time I closed my eyes I am brought back to the events of what I assumed was yesterday. I spent a whole day underground with minimal damage to my brain and bodily functions God definitely has a different purpose for me, I will not die.

Soon I was off to dream land, during the night cold sweat washed me as I twist and turned unable to have a good night's rest. 

I guess I was now a trauma victim, while I sat upright in the bed anxiety riddled my body and my mind ran on my wife she must be very worried about me.

It was 3am and she must be asleep so I will call her in the morning or better yet I will go see her this experience made me realize how much she actually meant to me and how bad I was treating her I needed to do better, I will do better.

I took a swig of the Jack Daniel neat and tried as best as possible to sleep. This was an ordeal.
