"Here drink this." Empress said handing me a cup with brown contents in it. I took it from her, this had been the same thing dem a gimmi from mi wake up and everytime mi drink it mi feel better and the pain stop.

"Respect." I said to her. She nodded her head giving me a smile as she left the room.

Sometimes mi haffi wonda. . .a mi afterlife this? Mi cyaah wrap mi head around how mi still alive.

Tony explained to me when I woke up and was fully aware of my surroundings and all now mi cyaah believe.

Mount a Trauma mi guh through these past two weeks. Barely can sleep, always a zone out . . .mi mind a guh back to the same night where them almost tek mi points.

Mia big man and mi nuh really cry but everytime mi see Tony face mi haffi shed a tear. Mi nuh know why him guh through all a that juss fi save a youth weh him barely know life but mi grateful.

Mi been through many things and weh mi bounce back from but this time I was buried alive.

"When the I check, yuh did have a likkle pulse." A weh Tony tell mi seh.

"Bwoy yuh issa walking miracle. . .yuh literally stop breathe."

Mi close mi eyes and open them back.

This, this right yahso a mi living testimony.

Thank God mi have a second chance. . .it muss be a reason why him mek mi living right now.

Mi move e cup to mi mouth and drink out all a the contents weh innah it.

Kinda taste like dirt. . .

Mi look round the likkle hut and smile. Two months mi deh yahso fah and was awake two weeks aguh.

Empress seh when mi did stop breathe Tony start bawl and she seh along time she nuh see him like that. . .Same thing did happen to him likkle bredda but him neva get fi save him, them find him body innah shallow grave and a whole heap a things did a gwaan that's why them decide fi live a waah place like this.

Empress seh she tell Tony seh fi guh find mi family and mek dem know seh mi dead but e man neva waah believe that. Him continue pump and then him find waah pulse.

She seh she neva believe and did haffi check herself and was shock seh mi did a breathe fi true.

And even though mi did a breathe mi eye them neva open.

Mi wake up wid all type a string attach to mi.

Mi coulda barely walk like mi used to cause mi body was in a state of shock and mi did out fi how much days suh mi did haffi a tek baby steps. Now mi can feel miself a gain back energy and strength.

Eva since mi start drink Empress juice them.

Mi break outta mi thoughts by running.
