Experience Description

I remember running on the playground of my elementary school chasing a fellow student in a game of tag. I then turned a corner and at full speed smacked right into a fellow student. The kid was taller than I was and I assumed he was in a higher-grade level. After realizing I had banged heads with the kid, I then grabbed my head and started to fall. I could faintly hear the boy say, 'Man that kid has a hard head.' Next thing I knew I was going through a bright light and I felt the deepest calm of my life. Once I got through the light, I turned around just in time to see my body get up, run, then fall underneath a swing. I then looked around at the playground everything was white.

I then thought of going home to see my mother. At the speed of thought, I zipped from the playground to the top of the cliff where I had lived. I don't know why but before reaching my house. I stopped in front of the fire station, which is right next to the park at the top of the cliff. I then looked down the street towards the little gas station. Everything was white still. I looked around up at the water tower and down the street back towards the gas station. The only thing that stood out from all this was a figure walking towards me in the distance. The figure was completely black, so black that I couldn't make out any features but his general shape.

I looked at the being that was approaching for a few seconds and then I thought of going home again. I then turned towards the road that took me home and I zipped so fast down that road that in the next instant I was on my street looking at my house. As I was looking at my house I heard a voice say, 'Go back.' I paid no attention to the voice and preceded to go forth but the voice said again much more clearly, 'Go back, it's not your time.' I then thought, 'No, I'm going to see my mother and I don't want to go back.' I preceded up to my front door and as I was about to open it the voice changed into my mother's voice and said even louder, 'Go back, it's not your time.' I then said, 'I don't want to go to school; I want to stay here with you.' I tried to open the door. Then the voice said in a stern voice, 'Go back to school now!' I hesitated, and then the next thing I knew, I was in my body.

I opened my eyes for a second to see all my classmates and a teacher standing over me. I then closed my eyes and tried with all my heart to go back. There was an overwhelming feeling of calm I didn't want to leave it. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't go back. I tried for who knows how many minutes. I had a full grasp of everything in my body but in the end, I couldn't go back. I ended up waking up with everyone still over me. I then grabbed my head because it began to hurt very much. My friend helped me up and I went to the nurse.
