for this prompt for 70-word micro!He was comforted by the thought of everlasting life, by the idea that his essence was as endless as time. The coffin closed ‘round its prize like the shell of an oyster around its pearl.

Falling,
sinking,
grasping,
clawing…

Arise and ‘abandon hope all ye who enter here’.

I promise I'll be good. I'm probably going to have to write that on the blackboard in Hell about a million times. 🤪
I don’t even believe in hell, and this made my skin crawl! Thanks Tracy!
