The ocean waves gently crashed against the shore while my hair swayed in the salty breeze. The sound of seagulls could be heard as they searched for scraps that visitors left behind.

The sun lit up the bright blue sky with its warm rays and the hot sand housed several small crabs. The last time I saw the beach was a few years ago on a family vacation.

It was pleasant, it was paradise.

Bang, bang, bang.

I heard the sound of distant hammering. I turned to see the lifeguard hammering on the guard stand, probably making minor repairs.

Bang, Bang, Bang.

The hammering grew louder and the beach scene slowly dissolved around me as I woke up from the dream.

When I opened my eyes, I was met with darkness and the muffled sounds of people talking. Before I knew it, the sound of dirt hitting wood could be heard.

Realizing where I was, I began screaming as loud as I could, trying to let the people know I was still alive. My efforts were fruitless as the sound of dirt covering the coffin slowly turned into silence.

How could such a pleasant dream be ruined by this horror?
