Preface

They say that when you have a near-death experience or when you are going to die your whole life flashes in front of your eyes. I've had more than my fair share of near-death experiences in my life, well. I guess you cold say I was the most accident prone girl in the history of forever. But now when death was a few seconds away, all I could see was blackness surrounding me like a cloud.

I tried to scream for help but then laughed at myself in dark humour. For whose help was I shouting for? There was no sign of mankind here for miles. Even though I was pretty sure no one would hear me I continued screaming.

I was secretly hoping that this was a dream and in any moment my Dad would come rushing in my room and wake me up. But this was no dream but rather a nightmare. A nightmare unlike every nightmare I ever had, because it was spun in the yarn of a dangerously heightened reality for me.

Abruptly the black clouds around me disappeared and I was sucked into a deep hole of blackness, defying all the laws of gravity. As I was pulled deeper and deeper, I screamed again. But this time no voice came from my mouth.
