Donald M's NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

 I stole my dad's car and drag raced a friend on a back road. I lost control and went into the ditch. everything went black and then I could see myself slumped over the floor console in the car from inside the roof of the car. all I could think of is who is that? Things went black again and then I could feel and see I was floating through a field and all I could think of is I had to see my sister and say goodbye. Things went black again and then I saw the tunnel and the light. It was a warm feeling, hard to describe. I heard a lot of voices of men, but the loudest was a woman saying "it's not your time go back." I felt disappointment by that. then things went black again and that's when I came to in the car.
