I woke from laying on the ground a fire burned near me the heat poured over my skin as i looked i saw desolation. A old man who eyes were sown shut chanted something grinding a twig into flames then ground, Well i watched he tossed me a copper coin and told me to place it under my tongue in confusion i asked him "where am i? " Slowly lifting his head he spoke me to his words strong and unforgetable " you are in a place where those who are to be forgotten are placed " I looked at him turning my head away was I to be forgotten then ? I didn't know then asking again, i turned away looking at the coin then away to the river a boat man stabbed the water pushing the boat he stood upon, through the water, i had to ask once more " where am i ? " Once again the old man raised his head and looked at me "he is the ferry man " i didn't understand twice i asked where am i and twice he told me something but not the answer to my question remembering what he said i placed the coin in my mouth the ferry man forcing his fingers into my mouth taking the coin and walked away the taste of decaying flesh burned my tongue and lingered in my nose he fell froward and began to vomit wiping y mouth i saw black tar i looked to the ferry man who rowed away his body and boat vanishing into fog a passenger at his feet once again i looked to the old man , his eyes open only black under then sting of his open eyes pressing the blackened stick to my forehead chanting softly drawing a cross upon my head and once again i asked " where am i " and this time he told me he said to me " your in a place the dead call home and the restless gain rest your in Hades now time to sleep " and with his words i fell again my eyes closed and my body fell limp was i dead ... witht he last of my strength i opened my eyes to see the old man leaving the fire fading and with it the room became dark
