Chapter 2

I’m in my mother's car.

I know immediately it couldn’t be real because this car had burned down with everything else my parents had owned. 

Along with themselves.

I climb to the front seat to see how the car was moving, but then it turns into a roller coaster with a steering wheel. 

I notice something behind me. It's my cat. The one I had when I was little.  The one from when I had a happy family.

It was sitting a few seats behind me but she was clearly really scared.  I try to climb back to where she is, but when I get there the roller coaster is at the top of a loop.

She falls off.  It isn’t bad that she falls off because she landed onto a trampoline that was underneath the roller coaster, but it still freaks me out when I see the drop

Then I fall too, but the roller coaster caught me. 

I hang onto the steering wheel for dear life because it's the only thing I was able to grab onto.  There are only seats and the wheel, not even a door.

Then, after swerving and looping and all these other things, it finally stopped.

Though, it was on top of a loop, so, again, I was hanging by the wheel.  I couldn’t take it any longer and decided to take my chances with the trampoline.

I didn’t land on the trampoline, though.  I ended up falling into what I guess you could call an oblivion.

There was nothing but darkness and the ground I could see.  When I land I land on my back, and I could feel the pain.

This clearly isn’t a dream like I had originally thought.  The place I am had blood and bones everywhere.

In fact, I’m looking at a throne not far away made of bones that had barely any skin covering them to keep them together.

I stand, wiping off the blood that’s coving my mouth from biting my tongue when I hit my back.  I can still feel the pain in my head and back.

That throne, I feel like it’s mocking me.  Like it’s telling me that I can’t sit on it because I’m too weak.

So I stand.  I look at it and start to walk.

As I got closer and closer I can feel this strange sense or feeling that I had to sit on that throne.  Like that was my throne.

I sit on it.

There was this aura that would knock any normal person off their feet.  It was so powerful that I feel as though I’m a king.  It’s amazing, but, then, I was off the throne.

I woke up in a box.  I’m hitting the box now, but nothing is happening. 

Wait, shouldn’t I be dead.  I stop hitting the box. 

Was I buried alive!

No that couldn’t be true. If I died after falling from atop a hospital, I would have been splattered on the sidewalk so there’s no possible way for me to be in one piece and buried underground.

Besides, this doesn’t even look like a coffin.  It looks more like a square box.

So I know this can’t be my life. 

I learned from highschool history that in ancient Egypt there’s a legend about having to pass trails to get to heaven, but, then again, I’m not in ancient egypt. 

Fine!  There’s only one way for me to know for sure.  I have to get out of this box.  So instead of hitting I put my knees against my chest and kick the box.
