Chapter 81 Eighty One

• A jarring movement as if a carriage was hitting a bump jolted me awake and I slowly opened my eyes which were heavy. I was still alive? Or wait, is this the afterlife?
• If this was the afterlife then I wanted to quickly return back to my past life because what is this heavy and sharp pain in my chest that was making it very difficult for me to breathe?
• I wanted to cough out so that maybe I would be free from this pain but it was almost impossible. A dry cough left me and something hot and liquid left my mouth and splashed in the air only to drop back onto my face. I slowly lifted my left hand which felt like it weighed a ton to my face to touch whatever this liquid was. I brought my hand up so that I could see and my breath froze in my chest when I was the color. It was red. It was blood. I had just coughed out blood. Fear immediately consumed my entire existence, clutching me tightly in its hold.
