The closest you've ever come to death?
Clear.
Half my lifetime ago, I was playing with my aunts curlers in the living room. She watched her Spanish soap operas which I was never into when everything went black.
I don't remember anything except waking up in a cold room with balloons and bears.
I never asked about it, I thought it was only a dream I had. Until I asked one day.
My heart stopped working and my brain didn't know what to do. My limbs moved rapidly and my eyes went to the furthest point.
Rushed past traffic they cut apart my blue Dora shirt and started my heart with electric shocks.
Diagnosed with some seizure conditioned I was never let out of sight. Years later I haven't had another one and hope I never do.
