The stranger didn't help me out, but he helped me in believing that I was in a deserted place.

With lots of dirt that could bury anything.

And anyone

"The cemetery"

The conclusion I feared could no longer be denied.

If I was buried, then I am in a coffin.

"Am I dead?"

Oh God. I don't want to die.

The tears finally escaped along with loud sobs.

Crying wasn't going to help my situation.

I had to be strong.

I then reached back for the lighter but touched something different.

What the hell was this?

I picked it up and took up the lighter afterwards.

It was a small piece of matter with smears of blood.

With the light, I figured out what it was.

A nail. A whole finger nail.

Shivers ran up and down my spine as I quivered by the terrifying sight.

But, who does it belong...

I stopped for a while.

My eyes caught sight of my fingers that held the nail.

They were stained with blood.

I observed them closely.

My middle finger.

It had no nail. The nail was missing.

I then placed the finger nail I found on the jagged surface.

And...

It fits.

Oh God.

I held the lighter closely to the wood. Being careful not to burn it.

I saw deep scratches in it.

Did I?

How long have I been here?

How long have I been trying to get out?

It doesn't matter because I won't stop until I do.
