This happened in December 1967. At that time I was 16 years old, I just got married and got pregnant. On the day that is coming speech, it was thick snow. I went from work to a break. On a way, crossing the town, lay a railway line. Unsuccessfully necessary frankly, lay – people often died under the wheels of the train. I almost became another victim … When I approached the iron on the road, a train ran along the track farthest from me. I waited while he will pass, and stepped through the middle track rail. And suddenly behind there was a desperate cry: – Train! It turned out in my rut another composition was approaching. I fell from surprise. Hands on one rail, legs – on the other, herself – in the middle! I raised my head looked to the left and realized that I had no chance. Locomotive was so close that I met with a round look in horror through the eyes of the driver. I don’t know why, but I was not at all afraid. The thought flickered: “Well, it will hit me on the head, and then nothing I’ll feel it! “In general, I reconciled. However, my hands somehow independently of consciousness nevertheless pulled the body to the side. They began to help them and legs. Slowly, hearing nothing around, I crawled out almost from under the train itself, not thinking about anything and not hoping for anything. As soon as I removed my legs from the rails, a train roared over them. I I heard from above the desperate mat of the driver who flew straight above me, having managed to shout out what he thinks “about such an idiot.” Still not at all afraid, I got up from the snow, shook myself off and went my way. Some grandmother stepped towards me – witness to the incident. – Pray, daughter, you are angels carried out. You yourself couldn’t! – she said. Later witnesses to me told how it all looked from the side. It turns out the train with rumbled at a frantic speed. I really have no chance It was. But for me, everything was different! Events happened like in slow motion, and there was absolute silence around – before the very moment that danger has passed. Many then me they asked how I managed to get out. What could I answer? One witness then shy away from me with superstitious for many years horror. By the way, I still got scared, but only later. That train I dreamed about another six months before the birth, causing belated horror. Willy-nilly, I began to wonder: how did I manage to escape? Once in a popular science magazine I read about the so-called time capsule. Say it happens: in a minute of mortal danger a person creates around himself a special capsule in which time flows with different speed. Perhaps this is exactly what happened to me? And you what do you think, what power saved me? Lyubov KASHTANOVA, p. Sosnovoborsk, Penza region
