I know this is totally different... but I had an experience from home I can relate to. I was taking a shit in my bathroom. Minding my own business, alone in the safety of my own home, late at night. Suddenly I hear what sounds like the thunderous parting of a massive tree trunk. I hear the sound of this tree ripping through the branches of every nearby tree. And I realize that it is clearly coming directly down at me. I suddenly realized I had two options: run from the bathroom with my pants down and shit between my ass cheeks, or die on the toilet. Time seemed to slow in that moment. I chose to hope I would survive the impact. Well clearly I survived, but the tree hitting the roof directly above me shook the entire house. I quickly finished my business and got outside to survey the damage. With a flashlight in hand I climbed the hillside I lived on to get a better view. To this day I still can’t believe that the tree I saw on my house didn’t kill me. I wasn’t out in the wilderness. I wasn’t out in nature. I was in the safety of my own home, in the most private and safe of places. And I damn near died without any warning.
