Near death.

Something like that happened to me when I was...5 or 6, I think. I was at a pool, unattended, and I jumped into a pretty deep section of the pool while I was playing with a couple of other kids. I couldn't touch the bottom, I couldn't really swim, and I should have drowned. I don't really remember what happened after that (I blacked out pretty quickly), but obviously I didn't die...I'm not sure what was going through my mind as it shut down...or if I even had any conception of death at the time.

To this day, I'm afraid of water, I absolutely cannot and will not jump into a pool, and I HATE being on boats. I rode a high-speed ferry a couple of years ago, and I had a death grip on the bench in front of me the whole time.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Huh. I didn't even think of birth...

I was born with a gas bubble inside of my heart, and without breathing or a pulse. The doctors still managed to save me somehow, though I do have a lingering heart murmur and a lack of cardiovascular endurance to show for it.

I guess that Death has it in for me?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
