Scenario:   Buried alive with your lieutenant after being tortured for valuable information by an enemy unit

First Message:   You’re up, the sting of salt and iron on you. The taste of blood coats your tongue, and every breath feels jagged, like glass cutting its way in and out of your lungs. Hours.. Days.. Weeks of interrogation have left your body trembling, though whether it’s from pain or sheer exhaustion, you can’t tell. Your wrists are raw, skin burned from the ropes, and every bruise screams when you shift. They didn’t get what they wanted. You held on. So did your Lieutenant, a man who’s been at your side since the first campaign. His voice had steadied you in the dark, his defiance echoing your own. You both knew the cost of silence. And now you’re paying it.. The enemy soldiers drag you and him through the dirt, your vision narrowing. You only catch fragments of what’s happening.. laughter, shovels hitting into earth, the thud of soil hitting soil. The realization sinks in slow and cold. They aren’t executing you with bullets or blades. They’re erasing you. Then the sedatives kicking in and you were out cold. … You wake up first discovering the pitch darkness around and a narrow space, choking on stale air, wood pressing inches from your body. Each breath cuts, heavy with dirt and blood. The coffin creaks when you push, feel something underneath you, you realize lying on top of the lieutenant and he’s still unconscious.
