You ever had the complete and utter shit scared out of you? I mean not the kind where you almost get in a car wreck, and then sigh a breath of relief.. But think you are about to be consumed by the first blasts of world war 3? I just experienced that... heres the story..
Im standing outside smoking with this guy, and all of a sudden... FWOOM!
An explosions rips through the area nearby. Both me and the guy duck, thinking we are about to blow up or something. I come up a second later and ask, "Was that thunder??" A quiver in my voice obvious. The guy tosses a wild eyed look at me, and looks around for other people, no one else is near.
"I don't think so..." he begins, and begins pacing around not knowing what to do. Then, another explosion, followed closely by a few more. Im standing their, about to shit myself, my pulse racing thinking world war 3 is starting... I just wanna run inside, and hide under the stairs...
Me and him are both really wary at this point, looking around, personally i was looking for smoke, fire, and burning buildings on the horizon i guess... Some evidence to back up what i think is going on. Suddenly the guy says "Wait here..." and runs ahead, up the parking lot drive way, and half way around andy holt. I can't decide whether to run and hide or follow him, so i stay where i am, smoking my cigarette like there aint no tomorrow.
"*&^%*#orks!!" he screams at me, i cant hear the beginning as another half dozen explosions rip through the area, shaking the buildings, at least it seems to to me. He walks back towards me and repeats himself, "Its fireworks!" he says, relief evident upon his voice.
At that moment, i breathe the greatest sigh of relief i have ever had, smoke exhaled through my lungs, symbolizing the pent up fear being released almost. "That scared the shit out of me..." i say to the guy...
"Yeah..." he says as he grabs his books, shakes his head, and goes inside the apartment. I stand out their for a few more seconds, not having actually seen the fireworks i still hold a little reservations, thinking he might have been wrong... I come in a few seconds later, and see him with his head placed at the window looking out. He sees me and motions me over, and i am finally fully absolved of my fears as indeed, i look out the window and see fireworks in the distance...
That said.. jesus christ.. yall just cant understand what i was feeling for a few moments there.. I seriously expected those moments to be my last, and let me tell you, my life didn't flash before my eyes... No higher wisdom was imparted to me, no none of that... Just a fierce and gripping cold wrapping itself around my heart....
Happy to still be alive-
rem out!
