REVIVE.

After suffering a cruel and traumatic fate, Danielle has to come to terms with the fact that life after death is just a shoulder wide coffin, and nothing but silence, nothing but insects nibbling at your discarded corpse. That is until she wakes up again, and she is certainly not in the ground anymore, not at all.

I claw my way up to the shore through rocks and pebbles that scrape my skin as I crawl to flat land. The pain felt good, at least there was something to feel after not feeling anything for what seemed like eternity. How long had I been dead?

I collapse on the grass face down, after violently coughing up water, my fingers gripping the grass. I want to close my eyes and sleep, but I had done enough of that. My heart races at the thought of waking up in the ground again. Maybe this is just me starting to hallucinate. I lied there trying to understand anything at all. How have I gotten here? How is this possible...?

"HEY!" I jump, frightened by a booming voice in the dark. This couldn't be God, why would God be so angry at me?

"How many times do I have to tell you children that this is sacred land?!" A large hand wraps around my arm, pushing me on my back. A bright light pointed at my eyes was painful, the first light I'd seen in forever.

"Holy shit."
