It wasn't a flash of black, some coldness or numbness. It was. . . everything. I was feeling ice sliding down the back of my shirt while watching a dog disappear into a blue sunset, my mother laughing in the background. Seeing a spoon against a neon-purple background, with the sharp pain of a pricked finger as I heard music from the music-box I'd had when I was little. I guess people are right.
