As a child of about five I developed a very high fever. My parents were extremely concerned for it was on the verge of life threatening. The fever went on for days and it seemed it wouldn't break but alas I started to sweat.

It was late at night and my parents were so exhausted the slept soundly. I was stationed on the sofa and had been for several days by then. I felt very hazey but coherent as my attention was drawn to the hallway. There stood a large figure and at a first glance I assumed it was my father.

In the moments before my death when I shouldn't of been aware of him I stared death in the face and as a result death passed, shocked and horrified that a mere mortal cut him to the chase. I would be lying if I told you this was not a dilusion created from the fever but in my own heart I beleive it was not. in my heart I believe the fever gave me the ability to see things I could never have normally and thus rather than claiming my life like everyone thought saved it.
