Dirt on a pine box
Darkness. Fingernails splintered.
Screams are buried deep

Author’s note couldn’t find an unsplash image I liked for this one, and definitely didn’t want to use an AI image….
So I took my own grainy picture! Scratched the wood up with a piece of metal and used a red sharpie on my fingers, then I tweaked the exposure and brightness and contrast to make it look darker. Hope it worked :)

Another stunner!!! I'm with Sean, that last line is killer and immediately makes you think of a way out, then you realize there is no way. And nice job with the pic!
Definitely a horrible image (I hate horror haha), but done well!
Great last line!
Oh my, is this like being buried alive or did the dead person somehow pull a Jesus? Loved what you did for your cover photo!
