Experience Description

I was seven years old and standing outside by a tree. My pony kicked me in the face, and the back of my head hit the tree behind me.

I remember floating above my body and looking down at my body lying there. Then I watched people pick me up, put me in a vehicle, and drive me to the hospital. I saw them place me on a hospital bed. When they took me to a machine, I woke up. That’s all I remember.
