I don't remember just how old i was when this happened, but it was before i was 8... My whole family went camping... You know, the usual "bring everything you need from home in an RV so we could have all the luxury of a home while still being out in the wild" experiance... Well, we decided one day to go to the river nearby, which happened to be about as powerful as some rapids are. my mom, dad, and i went close to the water, while my grandparents stayed behind in the camper. i was told not to touch the water, but how could i resist!? kids usually tend to do the exact opposite of what you tell them anyway ;p. i dipped a toe into the water... before i knew what was happening, my foot got pulled in... then my leg... i was being sucked into the water... i tried to grasp onto the rock, but i was being dragged in too fast. my head went under the water before my parents even noticed i was gone. i knew then that i had died... i could see myself under the water, and i saw my dad diving into the water after me. i saw him miraculously pull me out... i saw him breathe life into me... then all went dark. i awoke again... but i didn't see myself. instead, i was looking in my dad's face... i never want to have an out of body experiance again... ever...
