I've done a LOT of 'work' for several Swedish Developers and I have the utmost respect for their marvelous English (Find so many people born & bred in UK or USA who have such good Swedish! ).

My story is a… mournful one. I was buried alive in that marble long ago.
It was my retribution for attempting to break out of this land. If you do not wish to wind up like I did, have faith in no one.


AFAIK, the above sentences are correct.
It might be slightly better style (??) to say :-
It was retribution for my attempting to break out of this land.

But sometimes one doesn't see 'the wood for the trees'!
I never dreamed I would say the light of day again. I am… free…(emphasizes free)
I never dreamed I would SEE the light of day again
