Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled between towering mountains and lush forests, there lived a young girl named Elara. Elara was known for her adventurous spirit and insatiable curiosity. One day, while exploring the woods near her home, she stumbled upon a hidden door half-buried beneath a tangle of ivy.
Intrigued, Elara pushed aside the vines and opened the door, revealing a staircase leading down into darkness. Without hesitation, she descended into the unknown depths below. As she reached the bottom, her eyes widened in wonder as she found herself in a magical underground chamber illuminated by glowing crystals.
In the center of the chamber stood an ancient pedestal, upon which rested a shimmering orb. Drawn by its mesmerizing glow, Elara approached the orb and reached out to touch it. In an instant, she was surrounded by a dazzling light and transported to a realm unlike any she had ever seen.
In this enchanted realm, time seemed to stand still, and mythical creatures roamed freely. Elara marveled at the sights and sounds, feeling as though she had stepped into a fairy tale. But as she wandered deeper into the realm, she began to sense a growing darkness lurking at its edges.
Suddenly, she stumbled upon a group of creatures huddled in fear, whispering about an ancient evil that threatened to consume the realm. Determined to help, Elara offered to retrieve a powerful artifact rumored to hold the key to defeating the darkness.
Venturing into the heart of the realm, Elara faced numerous challenges and encountered strange beings who tested her courage and resolve. Finally, she reached the chamber where the artifact lay hidden, guarded by a fearsome dragon.
Summoning all her bravery, Elara faced the dragon in a fierce battle, using her wits to outmaneuver the mighty beast. Just when victory seemed within her grasp, the dragon suddenly spoke, revealing itself to be a guardian tasked with protecting the artifact from falling into the wrong hands.
Moved by Elara's bravery and selflessness, the dragon entrusted her with the artifact, a small golden key that shimmered with untold power. With the key in hand, Elara returned to the surface world, where she used its magic to seal the hidden door and protect the realm from the encroaching darkness.
As she stood before the now-sealed door, Elara realized that her special experience had not only changed her life but had also taught her the true meaning of courage, friendship, and sacrifice. And though she returned to her ordinary life in the village, she knew that she would forever cherish the memories of her extraordinary adventure in the hidden realm.

Six Feet Under
Buried alive. What a horrible way to go. Yazz lay there, in her own thoughts. What else could she do? She was hungry, thirsty, tired, mentally, and physically exhausted, and more than anything, she was bored. She hoped she would die of boredom before anything else, anything else would've been more painful. Like many people had, she and her friends had talked about what they reckon the worst ways to die were, it was a morbid subject, but it came up every now and again. Yazz had always been one to argue her point on drowning, others had mentioned burning alive, slowly and painfully bleeding to death, hung drawn and quartered, and being starved to death. It was strange that none of them had considered being buried alive, it had never come up. But now, she was thinking back to those conversations her and her friends had had, how could they have not thought about it? It took a lot longer than the others, you were completely confined, you couldn't move or do anything, you just had to wait, until your body was physically unable to support a life system anymore, which could take up to four days. Four! By far the longest out of all of them. She recounted some of these conversations just to try and pass the time, anything to pass the time. It was difficult to know how much time had passed since she had been underground, it was difficult to know anything. There were many things that Yazz didn't know, she didn't know where she was, she didn't know how she'd got into the coffin, she'd just woken up there. Yazz also didn't know what time it was, or even what day it was, she guessed at Tuesday, it was Sunday evening when she'd been buried alive, intentionally, and although it had felt like weeks had passed, she was still alive, which means she hadn't died from dehydration, and therefore it couldn't have been more than four days.
