Without sound, without anything, it was just as if a button had been pressed and the whole space was covered in the yellow-white color of a flash.. I realized that I was hurt. I listened to myself and realized that I didn’t feel my body at all. There is simply a color and a point that thinks, and the internal dialogue remains. But I understand that if I think, I am wounded, not dead. The guys dragged me behind the cars and when I came to my senses, I took a very deep first slow breath.. It was very difficult to breathe. Head wound. The fragment went straight into the brain and stayed there.. The brain doesn’t experience pain, so I wasn’t in pain, but I was so weak that I just wanted to disappear. It was unbearable to even look and perceive that I was alive,” Gaman said in an interview with Ukrainian Witness..
