The noise was too loud,
The noise was too loud, almost as if someone was using a drill machine in his head. He craned his head to relieve the cramp in his neck. When he couldn't move he realised where he was; in a coffin deep in the confines of an airplane...

The noise was too loud, a relentless cacophony that reverberated through his skull, almost as if someone was operating a drill machine inside his head. He winced, trying to shield his ears, but his hands met cold, unyielding surfaces. Panic surged as he struggled to make sense of his surroundings.

In a desperate bid to escape the clamor, he mustered all his strength to crane his head. A bolt of pain shot through his neck, but he persisted. Slowly, the world came into focus, and the harsh reality set in. He was enclosed in a suffocating space, the air thick with the scent of wood and dampness.

His breaths came in shallow gasps, each one a battle against the confined space. The realization struck him with a force that sent shockwaves through his trembling body. He was in a coffin, buried deep within the confines of an airplane. How could this be? Panic clawed at him, threatening to consume him whole.

Memories flooded back in fragmented pieces, a puzzle of confusion and dread. He recalled a mission, a dangerous assignment with high stakes. There had been a crash, an explosion that had sent his world spiraling into darkness. Now, here he was, entombed in this suffocating box hurtling through the sky.

Terror and determination mingled within him. He knew he needed to escape this nightmarish confinement, to find a way back to the realm of the living. Summoning every ounce of willpower, he began to methodically assess his surroundings, searching for any sign of hope, any glimmer of salvation.

Time stretched endlessly, each moment an eternity. With every labored breath, he felt the weight of the situation pressing down on him. The noise persisted, a constant reminder of the perilous journey he was on. And yet, amid the suffocating darkness, a spark of resilience ignited within him.

He vowed to fight, to claw his way back to the world above. With a surge of adrenaline, he began to work, driven by an unyielding determination to defy the odds. Inch by agonizing inch, he pushed against the confines of the coffin, his muscles screaming in protest.

As the seconds turned to minutes, he felt a glimmer of hope. A sliver of light pierced the darkness, growing brighter with each exertion. With a final surge of strength, he broke through, emerging into a world of blinding light and rushing wind.

He had defied the impossible, escaped the confines of his tomb in the sky. Gasping for breath, he clung to the edge of the opening, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. He knew the journey was far from over, but in that moment, he was alive, and that was all that mattered.
