13. Resurrection

(Day 16)

I let my breath out and concentrated on keeping calm. I hadn’t moved from this spot since my friends left and I wasn’t planning on moving until I reached some kind of undead nirvana. My leg started to twitch under me, but I refused to let it get to me. I knew that what I really wanted to do was stand up and walk around but I couldn’t. I hadn’t gotten there yet.

I let out another breath only this time it was more impatient. This wasn’t going to work and I knew it. Good thing I’m stubborn.

Clearing my throat, I kept my eyes closed and shifted a little. This time I touched the tip of my forefingers to the tips of my thumbs like I had seen in Eastern art pieces. Maybe if I envisioned myself on a lotus flower this would get easier.

Cracking my neck, I sat there. And I sat there, and I sat there, and I sat there. I decided that since nothing was happening that maybe I should take a series of deep breaths and see what would come of that. So I filled my lungs as much as I could, then I very slowly let the air out.

Almost instantly I felt a little different. Just more relaxed. Thinking that there might be something to the simple breathing technique, I did it again.

Ahhhh, I thought to myself. It felt so weird but it was working. I felt my body relaxing to a point I had never felt before. It was so serene, it was so sublime, it was so – Crash!

Jumping to my feet I looked around the room my heart beating erratically.

Something had just made a loud bang in the house and I wasn't sure what direction it had come from. From the upstairs hall I heard something that sounded like it was rolling across the floor. Cautiously, I got up and found the staircase leading up and made me way to investigate. Whatever was rolling down the hall landed with a dull thud against one of the walls. Quietly when I reached the top stair, I peeked around the corner and waited for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. I reached out a hand and started to feel around the wall blindly for a light switch. Finally my fingers grazed against one, and I flipped it up. My bare feet made small thumping noises as I quickly walked down the hall looking into each room to see if anything looked unusual. Not that I would know really because I hadn't been upstairs yet. I pushed each of the doors open carefully. Lucky for me it only looked like there were five doors to open and go through. When I neared the fifth door at the end of the hallway, a clap of lighting roared and the lights flickered, then died. I rolled my eyes and walked toward the door. For some reason the weather could be so dramatic. As I reached for the doorknob, a flash of lighting lit up the house briefly casting shadows everywhere.
