Yes, fellow writers, I’ve just met the final enemy and slapped him one with a trout. It’s bent scythe time.
Seriously though my writing will never be the same, I’ve looked right into the afterlife and come back. It leaves me with a sense of explosive joy that I hope to pass on.

What did you see?
August 21, 2015 at 2:23 pm #242511I have seen what matters and what doesn’t, too much to tell quickly.
August 21, 2015 at 3:35 pm #242502Oh, wow! I’m glad you pulled through!
Yay for the trout and that the bent scythe missed.
Happy writing,

August 22, 2015 at 3:42 pm #242507That sounds like a terrifying experience. I’m glad you made it through, and got some new perspective out of the deal. Best of luck on your recovery.
August 22, 2015 at 5:50 pm #242536Strangely there was no fear involved. Once I realised that the situation was life-threatening everything went utterly cold and logical. I had to stay conscious so that I could tell the doctors what was happening, and that meant putting everything I had into the fight. Fear doesn’t help you win so I turned it off.
It was only afterwards that I felt the explosive joy of having been so close to God. By then the time for fear had passed.
