Parametic Monologue
You were on your way home when you died. It wasn't anything remarkable, but it happened to be fatal. You'd just popped out of the house for a trip to the grocery store, you'd run out of flour for that chocolate souffle you were baking. It wasn't like you were particularly good at baking souffles, but that's somewhat besides the point.

Well, you got your flour, if it's any consolation to you. But then there was the accident. A car accident, completely unremarkable. The parametics tried their best to save you, but their efforts were fruitless. If it brings you petty comfort, the parametics all felt guilty for years because they couldn't save you. But your body was so utterly shattered...believe me, you were far better off just dying.

"Wha...what happened?" You asked, looking about. "Where am I?"

"You died," I said, matter-of-factly. I mean, I probably could have ben more delicate, but you're dead, so it hardly ought to matter to you.

"There was a...a car. And skidding," You said.

"Mmhm," I answered. This happened everytime, the intial confusion.

"I...I'm dead. I died?" You asked.

"Yup, but don't fret about it to much," I told you. "Everybody does. It's kind of what people do."

You looked about yourself again. There wasn't much there. Actually, to you, the place looked like a department store. "What is this place?" You asked. "Is...Is it the Afterlife?"

"If it would comfort you to think it is, then...Yes, this is the Afterlife," I said.

You looked perplexed. "Are you God?"

"Yup," I replied. "I'm God."

You seemed perplexed. To you, I didn't look much like a God. I just looked like department store janitor. Some vague figure standing there, with a mop. Actually, if you squinted, I kind of looked like that Morgan Freeman fellow.

"But...You're Morgan Freeman." You

    You moved one leg forward and shifted the stick in the middle. And again your second leg followed. The vehicle moved further back but rumbled and swayed violently before turning off like before.

    I was playing dodge ball. Usually I'm not very good at it, but one day, I was the last one on the court, and someone threw the ball at me. At that moment, I felt like the end was near. I heard mixed yells from my friends; yells of "Run" and "Catch it!" I almost felt the ball hitting my face as it was coming toward me! I closed my eyes! I heard a loud bang, not unlike a ball hitting someone. First, there was silence, then yells and cheers! I didnt't feel any pain. I realised that since I hadn't felt any pain, I had probably died. Well, I lived a good life. It had seemed that my death had been inevidable to me. I opened my eyes and looked down, expecting to see my body, lying on the floor. but it wasn't. 'That's strange', I thougt, I looked at…

    After surviving a life-threatening experience, many people report an extraordinary experience. Due to the growth of technology and the increased research of resurrection, near death experiences are becoming more common. Each person’s experience during a near death experience may be different though similarities have been drawn between the content of near death experiences and the effect on patients. This could be due to “the subjective nature and absence of a frame of reference for this experienced lead to individual, cultural, and religious factors determining the vocabulary used to describe and interpret the experience” ( Van Lommel et al 2001). Near death experiences have been reported in circumstances such as cardiac arrest, shock in loss of blood, near drowning, attempted suicide, and apnea. Though near death experiences are most often reported after situations where death was unavoidable;…

    Throughout the years, I have lost a number of loved ones, pets, and people I didn’t quite know. I spent a lot of time tallying and recalling these losses. What I found was that only a small number of those who died were members of my family. An even smaller number of those people had passed away without taking me by surprise; the majority of deaths in my life were due to accidents or some other sudden event. I will attempt to recount these losses in chronological order, but a few will fall out of place due to when I found out about them or simply not knowing my age at the time.…

    Death is a peculiar thing. Everyone reacts to it in different ways. And no one seems to fully understand what to do, what to say and how to react when death occurs in the family or in the family in one’s circle of friends. It seems that man can’t really understand why it happens. At least not when it is someone one cares about. But it happens, and there is nothing else to do about it, than survive and move on with one’s life.…
