That’s the story of how I died. The next thing I remembered, I was sitting at my desk, staring at the clock next to my bed. The stars were bright outside my window. It was midnight.

I caught my breath very suddenly, a huge, cold, gulping breath. I felt dizzy. It was like being woken suddenly from a very deep sleep. For a minute I was completely disorientated. I didn’t know where I was or when it was. I snapped open my laptop and checked the date.

It had been reset. Just as they said it would. Rewind had worked. It was the day before everything had happened. I hadn’t yet eaten the muffins, I hadn’t been to school in those ridiculous shoes, I hadn’t slapped Becky Lane or got that kid run over.

I hadn’t died.

I wanted to run downstairs and check that all the muffins were there, but I couldn’t. I felt weak. I wasn’t sure my legs would be able to support me if I stood up. But there was the date on my screen, comforting and honest.

I breathed out, a huge, relieved sigh, and it turned into sobs. I rested my head on my folded arms and cried. Everything was ok again.

What was it like?

I must have died instantly. I tried to keep my eyes open as long as possible but they shut of their own accord a few moments before impact. It was like darkness hit me, hard and sudden, not painful, but all-encompassing. Imagine a brightly-coloured screen with loud music playing, and then everything goes black and the sound is shut off, all at once, right in the middle. The absence hits you. After that, nothing. There was the whumph of blackness and then here I was, gasping, at my desk again. I saw no heaven. I saw no hell. I saw nothing.

Overcome with emotion and exhaustion, I climbed into bed. My head was pounding. I felt hung-over. I fell into a deep sleep.
