The dark is where I wait and lay

All around me is dirt and clay

I don’t hear myself breathing

The silence is deafening

I can’t tell if I’m awake

I start screaming

The Dark And Burried

Written as part of an entry to a contest, the theme is ‘the dark’. As you can guess from my previous writings, I had no trouble at all thinking of the most scary situation that someone could end up in. We don’t know if this person is male, female, burried alive, or murdered and burried dead, but does it matter? I think if anyone, including alien, would find themselves in a coffin hole waking up, they would go mad. This person does in the end.

    Definately a scary scenario! Particularly knowing that this happened more often than we’d care to think about!
