Have you ever been really scared?

This time, I going to talk about a really unusual experience. In my first year In this university, I had a strange accident.

I was traveling as usual to university, with the metro full of people, from Ecuador to Catolica station. when I get a Los Heroes, A strange feeling that I never had invaded, between fear and suffocation, had the urgent need to get off the subway, I am opened through the crowd to exit the train.

When getting off the subway, the feeling did not disappear, I remember walking blindly toward the wall, away from the platform. Leaning against the wall, I see a girl looking at me from inside the train, in this time my vision blurs and everything goes black. I hear screams in the distance and I feel my life run away of my hand.

I woke up on the floor, the first thing I saw were my hands spattered with blood and a large pool of blood stretched beneath my head. I tried to remember what happened but the last memory I had was that of the girl looking at me from the train and then everything went dark.
 
I was taken on a stretcher to a safe place. Although I have not clear that was what happened that day, for the doctors, had a seizure that culminated in something they call psychomotor automatism. In a few words, I walked unconscious toward the platform and the next train hit me.

That is one of the most bizarre and terrifying experience I went through. I hope that does not happen again.
