Fighting the Abyss

I was floating. My body felt incredibly heavy but I felt like I was just spinning through an abyss like I was a feather. I tried to remember if this is how it felt the last time I died. No...no it wasn't like this. There was a bang like before...but then I fell right through the earth. Right onto the sidewalk in Pentagram City. 

This was a different kind of floating and maybe this was it...maybe this was all there was. Hell had been my second chance and I had let myself be killed...again.

No...No, I didn't want to die again. I wanted to go back...

I began to move, my limbs slowly pushing against the abyss, slowing my fall. The more I struggled, the more I seemed to move upwards. 

So upwards I went.

I kicked and clawed my way up, fighting the abyss trying to drag me down. I clawed my way towards the surface, where it slowly got easier to move. I couldn't see the surface, but I could feel it. I could feel there was light...there was life...just waiting for me if I worked a little harder.

Suddenly, I could feel fresh air fill my lungs. Swallowing deep lungfuls, I swore I had never experienced anything so fulfilling. Then there was light. I could see again.
