　　Alice felt herself floatingsintosspace and rising up past dust-covered lamps to the grey ceiling. She looked down calmly at her body lying unconscious on a white table, surrounded by doctors and nurses. Then, before she knew it, everything was dark although her eyes were wide open. "Where am I?" she wondered. She began flying through a long dark tunnel at high speed, emergingsintosa white light which completely engulfed her. She had a sense of total euphoria. She felt her dead father standing there, reaching out his hands to her, saying "Alice! Go back!"

　　Alice regained consciousness on an operating table in the hospital; the doctors had saved her life. She had just had a near-death experience, or NDE. This means she was clinically dead-the ECG registered no heartbeat, showing only a "flat line"-and yet, by some miracle, she had come back to life again.
