It's... ALIVE!!!
It's... ALIVE!!!
My next recollection was a hazy thought that I was having a bad dream. Maybe I’ll wake up and get out of this mess, I mused. Gradually regaining consciousness, I realized this was no dream; it had really happened. That also was disturbing, because I could not have survived what had just happened. Therefore, I must be dead. Since I didn’t feel bad–just a detached sense of euphoria–I decided being dead wasn’t so bad after all. AS FULL AWARENESS took hold, I realized I was not dead, but had somehow separated from the airplane. I had no idea how this could have happened; I hadn’t initiated an ejection. The sound of rushing air and what sounded like straps flapping in the wind confirmed I was falling, but I couldn’t see anything. My pressure suit’s face plate had frozen over and I was staring at a layer of ice. • I had horrifying visions and dreams in hospital. Mostly whenever I closed my eyes I had flashes of decaying faces with terrified expressions, or extreme close-ups of open, dead eyes or ruptured skin. Occasionally something beautiful but oddly disturbing would play. One of these was a sheet of floral fabric billowing slowly in bright sunlight, but a hellish choral soundtrack gave the scene a nightmarish ambience that I’ll remember for a long time. • These were always slow and clear, as if 1000 fps in HD. Just a series of slow motion scenes that sat behind my eyes, waiting for me to blink or doze. • All I remember is the pants-shitting terror and a deafening ringing in my ears. Wouldn't recommend it. • Also, f**k ice. • When I was a 7 years old, I had almost drowned to my death. I remember nothing of my experience, and my life didn't flash in front of me. But yes, people did start treating me like a was some porcelain doll and never did let me forget it even after I became an expert swimmer who got a lot of medals. • Incidentally, I believe my 'last words' were “oh, f*****g hell.”• My next recollection was a hazy thought that I was having a bad dream.
