His eyes flew open and he gasped in a breath of unneeded air. Trapped! His fingernails scrabbled against the satin overhead, tore through it and the stuffing, finally splintered on the wood of the box. Raw, bloody, his hands pounded on the mahogany, preternatural strength helping him to break it apart. Soil fell on his face, and he tunneled frantically through the dirt. He thought he'd never arrive at the surface...until his head finally erupted into the rainy London night. His dark princess waited there, clapping her hands in delight.
"Come, sweet William. And bring your burning baby fish."
Heh. I got all four elements in. Go me.
