in pain there is hell

i have woken up. why? i was dead, i was sure of it. why cant i close my eyes? when i feel my face i discover that i don't have one anymore. i look down at my hands, there isnt any skin or flesh, why?
i notice that the thick bush around me is drenched in the blood of others, and myself. the trees are black, and seem to be dying. how? what happened?
i think i realize now. i am dead. i am a lich. am i the harbringer of evil in the eyes of all humans? i notice the void of hunger within me, i must consume.
