In limbo

Sometimes I think about this event. I was about five years old. And at school we had this old freezer in which they kept a big pile of blankets for making tents. Like a big freezer that opens from the top. When recess started, we would take out the blankets and use them to build huts in the playground. One time I decided it would be fun to hide in the freezer just before recess ended. (I liked hiding in all kinds of places, at home and at school) I crawled underneath some blankets and felt the weight of the blankets being put on top of me as people were putting them back as recess ended. Then it was just silence and I was content for a while. Just being hidden. Some time later they found me though, and they seemed very upset. In retrospect it was a dangerous situation. The freezer seals off pretty good and I didn't have much air. Of course I didn't realize the danger myself. It makes me think I could have died back then. Not a very good situation for my parents and the teachers. Still, something that crosses my mind from time to time. Anyone else accidentally almost could have died when they were younger? I wasn't near dead or even passed out or anything. But still makes me think.
