Akumbia went to the dam near his village to play with clay but when he saw an object in the middle of the water, he thought someone was drowning, so he decided to rescue the person but eventually got drowned himself. He was later pronounced dead by the village undertakers and buried quickly. But he was not dead when they buried him and he woke up later in the dark grave. He had only two choices; either he accepts his fate and wait for his eventual death or do whatever it takes to get out.
