I regained consciousness looking up at the sky, the clouds. Laying in the dewy grass by the fence, and feeling the warm summer air swell around me. I was back, I was home. I couldn't believe it. Who knew it was that easy to crawl out of a spirit realm? I guess the real question is 'am I still alive?', I sit up, then stand up, turning around to see all the familiar surroundings I once loved. As I start to walk I feel the Earth take a sudden shift and I fall; not on the ground but through it. Without end I'm plummeting hundreds of thousands of feet. Why? A terrible feeling washes over me, signifying that I may be about to hit ground, and I do. I black out for an instant then come to, I see a pool of my own blood slowly growing wider. Someone, Michael, stands over me and so does Sari, Jason, and Jade. "I told you you couldn't do it." Said Michael.
"Is he dead?" Asked Jade in concern, I felt so much pain, but I wasn't dead. I guess it's much harder for the living to die when they're down here.
"No." I answered weakly.
