Comment from Lea Tonin1
What a story! Is this a true story? And are you the character in it? If so, what you had experience, it was completely natural, and usually the normal process when a person passes. I've been close to death, black, dallas for different reasons. Very well written in the picture was claire and concise, if the words you've chosen great job! If I had another six, it would be yours! Really fine submission. I thank you for sharing this with us. Best of luck to you.I hope you're having a great night!

Comment from RodG
Your story should appeal to all guys who have ever ridden motorcycles and anyone who, like you, has had a near-death experience. Good job of describing your bright light experience while you were in the hospital. But I would omit the two paragraphs about the box prank as it only interrupts the flow of your story.

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
What an amazing story of survival, and a wonderful tale of a near death experience. So few have had that experience and lived th tell about it. We've all heard about people such as yourself, and all that entailed.
It was beautiful but haunting.
Take care,
Rhonda

Comment from Mrs Anna Howard
What a surreal story, Harry! It must be so scary and I am so glad you were okay (obviously!). I have read about near death experiences and have heard similar descriptions. Thanks for sharing!

Harry.
I really enjoy reading your stories. First, they're a recollection of parts of your life. And reading them feels like we're sitting on my deck with a couple of beers and you telling me the story. Clean, easy and simple.
Just how I like it.
Thank you, my friend.

Well, thank you so much John. Yes, that is exactly how I was writing it. Not in any order, but facets of my life that are things you don't forget. I truly appreciate the Review and kind words!
Comment from estory
This story is one of the life or death experiences that kind of shakes you up and makes you appreciate life. I like how you sketched out the devil may care fun loving personalities of the boys, and how the bike riding they so enjoy leads into this terrible accident that almost costs one of them his life. The near death experience of floating through the tunnel towards the light and floating above the hospital bed is a kind of imagery we have seen before, but it does put the reader squarely in the scene and experiencing what this boy is experiencing. It makes it all seem that much more precarious. estory

Comment from June Sargent
Was this a true story? What an experience! To have a triple skull fracture and still survive is amazing. And you were so young. I agree that living is harder sometimes than dying. But I'm glad you are still in the land of the living.

Yes, June. This is a true story. I have the scars to prove it. I was very lucky to have survived according to my doctor. I had a Native American doctor named Jose Geronimo. He was very good. I was 14 at the time.
Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
It certainly is an interesting life you have had.
but at least we were not doing heroin or shooting up the school, as kids today are doing - to be fair, this is a wild generalisation as I'm pretty sure the majority of young people aren't doing this. In fact, it was also happening in the 70s and indeed in 1974 - The Olean High School shooting was a school shooting that occurred on December 30, 1974, at Olean High School in Olean, New York. The gunman, 17-year-old Anthony F. Barbaro, an honor student and member of the school's rifle team, indiscriminately shot at people on the street from windows at the third floor of the school building. Four people, including an unborn child, were killed and another 11 people were injured during the shooting & Cleveland elementary shooting in 79.
"No!" "I am alive, I am right here." - this could all be in one set of dialogue.
I'm betting most folk never find out what their purpose is.
All the best

Yes, GMG. If we look back through history - this has happened all along. However, in today's world we are seeing it more and more. In Orlando, they are dropping like flies, but the police reports don't show that because they don't want to scare off the tourists from Mickey Mouseville....Thank you for the great review!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
There are so many stories of people dying and then being returned to their body. Seeing the light, and being sent back. It can't be imagination, not with the amount of people it happens to. You were told it wasn't your time. There has to be a reason you were saved. I'm sure you will find that reason soon. I'm also sure your writing plays apart in this. I enjoyed reading this one, it is more proof as to our futures. Well done. Warmest hugs, Sandra xx

Well, thank you so much Sandra. I truly appreciate the great review and kind words. Yes, I have been credited with saving 7 lives while in the Coast Guard. So, I thought maybe that was the reason, but I am not sure...
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
Even when I read your most horrible stories, I smile (so sorry). It's true, because I can relate to so much of what you right. After the car hit me in 2018, I also began to have dreams of floating closer to a bright light. In one dream, my godfather who had passed long before spoke to me in Greek and I understood (which ZI am really not fluent in Greek that way). I was told it's not my time yet. I had enjoyed the feeling of the bright light and the love of my family near, so I cried. My pillow was soaked. There is truth to what you've gone through, and this dream has happened in a few ways to me, pillow always soaked because I wanted to stay. He injuries cause lasting sensitivities, I think. And I was a moosh before I ever had an injury so. I think sensitive people plus head injuries, equals what you went though. Thank you for sharing yet another compelling story. I hope you're publishing your stories. If not, you should. Have a good day, friend.
Smile,
Alex

Wow! That is amazing Alex what you went through too. I thought I was dead. It was scary after it was over with. Thank you so much for the kind words and great review! I truly appreciate you!

You're welcome! I think you had it worse on a motorcycle but I can relate to the whole thing. The head pounding alone, brought my memory back because you wrote about it very well. Too well even. Ouch! Ha
I appreciate you too. Thank you.
