You're a prisoner. Your friend at the prison rings a bell when a prisoner dies and nails them in a coffin. You tell him your plan of escape: you hear the bell, get in the coffin with the body and he takes you to the graveyard where he'll dig you back up.
DING! DING! DING! THE BELL! You get in the coffin. You hear the footsteps and the hammering of the nails on the lid. You are driven away and placed in the ground. You hear the dirt piling on top. While waiting for your chance for freedom, you wonder whose in the coffin with you. You light a match...
It's your friend...

Prisoners are able to smuggle things...

I think that was a movie?
I would just hope the match burned up the coffin - to make it go quickly

I saw this story plot on a 'creep show' one time. It was actually a rather horrific and disturbing thought.
A very long time ago they actually buried people with a string attached to a bell atop the ground to the coffin. Incase the 'corpse-' wasn't actually dead he could pull this string and ring the bell, which would alarm the cemetery keeper that --"hey, I'm alive down here" and be rescued from a suffocating death. I should do some further research on that huh? It's is actual history

If this were a soap opera I would pull out my cell phone (my family would know the guard and I would be granted the phone as a special favor) and call for help. Of course in a soap opera I would have signal even underground.
In real life I would start banging my fists against the coffin and yelling for help. After all going back to prison would be better than dying like this!

nice story. i would first scream my butt off of shock. then cool down. and scream again cuz i kno im dead duck. then pretty much try not to fall asleep(forever) then.. id keep on kickin the lid. and kick and kick and kick..then try to call sumone on my cell cuz i smuggled it down.. but since i get no service down here... i play games on it until i cant stand the "ping" of the phone anymore..then use it as a crowbar...and stick it between teh edges of the coffin...surely if the guy thought we were dead...he wouldnt put on the nails tightly..right??? cuz he thought we were dead..and dead people dont jus walk around in their graves..so i am careful not to drown in all the dirt above the coffin.. so i first push up my friend... (sorry but hes dead ya kno?) then i pull myself up outta my own grave. yeahhhhhhhhh again..nice story..
theres a song about a guy climbin outta his own grave. its REALLY good. talkin about how you gotta live life and stuff check it out... its called "the cool" and its by lupe fiasco.

I guess would just wait to die. 6 feet of dirt is really heavy, there would be no way out.

Well, I guess I'd make a lot of noise... and try to get out.. and if I didn't get out, I guess I'd die..
Wow.. you should write books.. or movies.. what an awesome imagination!

Absolutely lose my mind. Being buried alive is the scariest thing in the world to me.
