The truth is out there (Friday Fictioneers)
PHOTO PROMPT © Fleur Lind
As the lights brighten my flashback is immediate. Strange sounds, electronic in nature beeping at odd intervals almost like speech. White light, so bright it blinds me but I sense movement in my periphery. A dampness covers me, almost like water. I’m wet but not sweating. A coppery smell I am sure is blood fills my nose. A hand against my shoulder startles me out of the memory. “…What?” I stutter.
“It happened again?”
“Uh… I suppose… yes.”
“They said it’ll happen.”
“Yeah.”
Resuscitation after drowning. They said it was a near death experience.
But I was nowhere near water.

Rambles, writing and amusing musings 
As always, Laurie, full of atmosphere and mystery. This is a technology that’s obviously not for the faint-hearted
Indeed! Thanks Neil 😊
A gripping account and fraught with mystery. You never disappoint, Laurie, what a great read! 🙂
Thank you!! 😊
Very intriguing. We don’t need water to drown though. Great little mystery!
This is true Mason… in think case it’s a little more alien caused 😊
For sure, those aliens are mischievous, dangerous creatures!
Must have been near at one point. Quite a mystery.
Indeed! Thanks for reading 😊
A fine mystery to unravel
Yes and I don’t think she’ll work it out. Thanks Iain!
Very spooky 🙂
Thank you!
If only we could sleep with one eye open until the feeling passes.
Oh yes, but perhaps we’d all go mad that way. Thanks James!
The bloody nose made me queasy! Well described, well done.
Thank you!
Very mysterious and tense. It may be a lot more than near-death experience.
Thank you! Yes that’s exactly what I was going for!
My first thought is alien abduction flashback. I hope I’m wrong, for her sake. Compelling story, Laurie.
Nope, you’re spot on, Jade
Ooh, creepy.
Thank you!
Dear Laurie,
Ouch, that last line opens up a whole new set of possibilities. Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, Rochelle!
