Years go I woke up in the dentist’s chair, and I had not gone to sleep. I was rather wet and sweaty and the dentist and his assistant were very pale. I asked what happened, and the dentist said “you died, but we got you back”. My heart had quit and my breathing quit. Of course, I didn’t have any dying ‘experience’. I just woke up from being temporarily dead. Dying didn’t hurt, and there was not the slightest sensation of anything. No life flashbacks. No pearly gates. Just nothing, and no sensation of nothing. I guess that’s how permanently and instantly dead is. You won’t know you’re dead. I could say that “you’ll see”, but you won’t.

I was in for wisdom teeth removal. He gave me a shot. I remember that.

His assistant was a really cute girl about my age. I had planned to ask her out, but guess I looked bad being dead.
