Mikey loved his grandpa Joe. they went fishing on Saturday mornings then grandpa would take Mikey to his local little league boys and girls baseball games at the park. They'd finish the day off, getting milkshakes at the diner where grandma worked.
Yet all of that came to a sudden halt when grandpa got into a car accident. It wasn't his fault. He was rear ended by a deliver driver who was drunk behind the wheel. The air bag in Grandpa Joe's steering wheel didn't work, slamming his head directly into the steering wheel, giving him a sudden concussion. He also passed out.
Grandpa was taken to the hospital. The doctor and nurses spent hours, trying to save him. But he had internal bleeding, causing a blood clot. Within a few hours he was dead.
Mikey was heart broken when his mother told him the news. He couldn't imagine life without his grandpa being a part of it. He didn't even want to attend the funeral. He didn't know if he could glance at his grandpa's remains or not, but he built up the courage for his parents.
Mikey crept toward the coffin set near the front of the church. He peaked inside the coffin and saw grandpa Joe. Mikey pulled his favorite fishing lure from his pocket as well as a baseball and gently laid it beside grandpa. He then felt someone touch his shoulder. It felt warm and safe.
Although grandpa Joe was gone, Mikey suddenly felt his presence in spirit. He knew grandpa Joe was resting, yet would always be with him.

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.
