There is only darkness. Is this what it means to be dead? I thought there'd be a bright light.

Oh, there it is.
Directly before me a bright white light fills my vision, and I cannot turn away from it. The light get's closer, and I know that there is no point trying to get away. After all, there wouldn't be much of me left to return to after a fall like that.

I can hear voices, blurred, muted voices but they are definitely voices. They slowly get louder, clearer and if there are voices, is this heaven? Or have I been sent to hell? Or maybe someplace else?

"He's awake". The voices are clear enough to understand, now- but this doesn't make much sense. I open my eyes, and see something that is definitely not heaven.

It's a white room, with two unicorns standing over me. The room is lit brightly, which must have been the white light I had seen when I was 'dead'.

"What happened?" I ask the unicorn nurses, feeling dizzy in the head. I can feel! This must be reality at last!

"You were in an accident. There was a cart, a rock and a very steep hill. The cart came down the hill and hit you in the back, breaking your spine." The nurse looked at me empathically, as if she'd seen it before. "We did all we could, but I'm afraid you'll never have feeling behind your front shoulders again."

Oh, so I'm not done with the nightmare. "Nurse?"

"Yes?"

"I'd like to wake up now."
