My salty tears stung the cuts on my once beautiful face, which was now covered in deep cuts which would end up scarring. I pushed further, my uncovered legs felt frozen as the harsh icy wind blew at them, I was stuck in this thick cememnt like mud that held the wall together, I pushed harder, I was half way through the wall, almost free. I twisted my head slightly, my hair was caught on something, I yanked and the stabbing pain in my head worsened, I wriggled some more then saw the rotten white bone hand. I screamed, I kept silent as the shuffling came my way, in a frenzy I pushed futher, my hand touched the fresh green grass and sunlight pierced my eyes. I was home.
A high piercing scream was heard near the wall then it faded, but it was followed my more torturous screams, I made my way to the wall then all I saw was a tiny hole and deep claw marks in the mud. Must have been a wild animal.
