Episode 3 - The Rise

... And there it was a deep silence. She could not hear a thing. She tried to open her eyes but could not make it. She felt a heavy matter covering her eyes; then the viscid matter "crawling" into her nose not letting her breathe. She started to panic. She was afraid to open her mouth. What if all that stuff could enter inside and then choke her? But not breathing was the same. She tried to move and grabbed the first thing her hand touched. It was wet soil. Her heart started beating faster and she felt almost like screaming. But at the last moment she remembered. But the thought that was in her mind could not be ignored. She was buried alive. Hopeless she started to move, trying to make a bit of space around her. The scare and the terror soon turned into anger. Who did this? And who threw her in the ground to die? And why not even a proper grave? Why not a proper coffin? Had she been killed? But the answers to all these questions never came. She started digging around her, stamping the ground so it will not fall on her. At first, there was space just to move her hands. But then she could move her arms. She made room around her chest and head and with a bit more effort she could move her feet. She tried to bend her knees, but there was still a lot more work for that. Suddenly the breathing problem was not a main issue. For as long there was air, she will keep digging. She finally opened her eyes. Still could not see a thing, just total darkness. She searched for pockets, but could not find anything to shad a light. And then she felt the place around her… definitely soil. The smell was now clear.

The worms were crawling in her hair, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to get out of there. She stacked her palms to the ground above her, deepening her fingers into the soil. She rended the dirt and threw it at her sides. She didn't know how much she will have to dig, but that didn't matter. She kept doing that and at one point the soil that she took out filled the little space she made around her a bit earlier. But now she had space to go up. She sneaked inside the hole she dug, but it was only by the length of her arms. For a moment she felt hopeless. There was too much to dig. She had to take out the soil and throw it somewhere - so she needed space. And space was the only thing that was missing there, beside air. The thoughts in her head started pouring again. The questions came again and still no answers. She felt like crying, but the tears would not fall. She let her head rest on her arms for a moment. She knew she had to dig, but could not find the strength, or maybe the hope. And then, in front of her eyes, an earthworm came out from the soil and got back in. She looked at it disgusted. But then she realized it. She pushed her fingers deep into the ground, wresting the dirt and glued it to the side, to make a tunnel. She didn't stop and suddenly she realized she was crawling in the ground just like the earthworm, going faster and faster. She started begging in her mind for a bit of light.

She reached with her hand and then it happened. She could not feel the earth anymore. She pushed herself up desperately and she stuck her elbows in the ground, trying to make space. She grabbed the ground above and pulled. She felt her chest explode and suddenly she wanted to breathe. She stretched her other hand outside the ground and she pulled again. Her head reached out. A warm, dry wind splashed her face. She shrugged. The feeling wasn't the one she expected. The wind only cut through her skin like a sharp knife. But she didn't care. She was pushing and pulling her body out of the ground... She was free. She raised her hands to the sky... And then she noticed. A thick mist was covering the sky and not only. It was humid and oily and sticky to the skin and it was killing every plant got in its way. The ground was barren. She covered her face with her hands and screamed. All of a sudden she heard dim voices. She looked around, but didn't see anything; then the ground beneath her started to move. A hole in the ground opened and her foot slid in. Fallen to the ground she started crawling away, shaking in fear. A hand reached out the hole and grabbed her foot. She screamed. Then another hand burst out of the ground and reached something to hang on. The hand grabbed her hair and pulled. She started screaming disparately. From the hole in front of her, a man came out, barely standing. His skin was brownish and his eyes were white. He was very skinny and his flesh was eaten by maggots. He let her go and fell himself to the ground. She looked back and saw another shape coming from the hole at her feet... and then the whole scenario: human beings were spawning out of the ground. She could not help it and started screaming again...

She opened her eyes, but it was dark. From nowhere, Gordon appeared at her side: "Ma'am... Are you ok?" She nodded: "... I'm fine..." Gordon looked at her and said: "I think you had a bad dream..." She bitter smiled and answered: "... No... It was only a memory..."
