“Then I died. The end.
Back in school, I loved ending stories that way.
It's the perfect conclusion, isn't it? "Billy went to school. He had a good day. then he died. The end."
It doesn't leave you hanging. It wraps everything up nice and neat.
Except in my case, it didn't.
Maybe you're thinking, "Oh, Magnus, you didn't really die. Otherwise you couldn't be narrating this story. You just came close. You were miraculously rescued, blah, blah, blah."
Nope. I actually died. One hundred percent. Guts impaled, vital organs burned, head smacked into a frozen river from forty feet up, every bone in my body broken, lungs filled with ice water.
The medical term for that is dead.
"Gee, Magnus, what did it feel like?"
It hurt. A lot. Thanks for asking.”
