RE: Brushes with Death - My Near Death Experiences

in #short-stories9 years ago

Wow... fascinating stories. Yeah it's crazy to think about your brother trying to drown you.. at least he redeemed himself somewhat with the dog incident.. and you guys had great survival instincts fending off that dog.

Sort:  

Glad you enjoyed the stories!

Yeah, he did redeem himself a few times later in life ... but in the end he reverted back to the 4-1/2 yr old, which is unfortunate. :/

Yeah maybe it's some love/hate thing going on. BTW how have all these experiences changed you as you got older?

Robbed me of my sense of adventure, made me a lot more introverted and fearful of the unknown. I've become a master planner, planning for anything and everything whenever we do just about anything. It pretty much annoys everyone else. "But what about ____?" "In case ____ happens, we need to ____". In other words, I'm prepared for just about anything these days. ;)

I figured something like that could happen. Oh wells at least there are benefits to being prepared the way you are. You've had enough excitement to last a few lifetimes anyways.
