After I put the seatbelt on and checked that the vehicle was filled with gas, I drove to Dubai. The road was empty, so I could go faster without concerns. Then a flat trailer appeared in front of me. Before I crushed the trailer, I was flying in a lovely white tunnel. I saw all my life from the time I was born in our house up until the time of the accident. Suddenly, I woke up and found myself inside a crushed vehicle and it was hard to breathe. The ambulance took me to the hospital. After three hours, I called my mother in Iraq. She was too tired since it was early morning. I told her nothing about the accident, but I did explain to her the details about how I was born. She was surprised and wanted to know how I knew the details, about which she never told me.
