This is super subject to change

How's about another random likely-to-be-changed excerpt from another series I'm working on? This one stars my reaper girl and is clearly paranormal.
Looking back, I should have known that something was different. No one survives what I did, comes back from where I did, without changing. The summer between high school and college, when my life was getting ready to go in a new direction, the biggest change of all happened to me.
I died.
It was for ten minutes and thirty-four seconds, which doesn't seem like very long if you know, you're not talking about someone being dead. Really though, it's eternity. Ten minutes with no blood flow to the brain or other parts of the body - well it's not pretty what could happen. The doctors, once they got over their shock when my heart started beating again, were sure I'd have some kind of brain damage, that I'd be different. I surprised them by seeming totally normal, just the same as I'd been before.
I wasn't though, not really.
It took a while to learn just how different I was, and for a while, I thought the doctors were right, and that there was something wrong with my brain. I couldn't think of any logical explanation for what was happening. All I knew was that something had changed, because after my accident, just like that kid in The Sixth Sense, I could see dead people.
