Scariest Moments in Your Life

[Springfeal]

What were the scariest moments you have had in your life?

When I was in kindergarten, I was being very stupid at school during lunch time. Some of my classmates were putting random stuff in their mouths and trying to see how far they could spit them out. I put the bottle cap from my water bottle in my mouth but I accidentally swallowed it and started choking on it. It was super scary because I could feel the air being blocked in my body and after struggling for several seconds my vision started to go dark like curtains were being drawn over my eyes. Luckily one of the PE teachers noticed and did the Heimlich maneuver on me. The bottle cap came out and I started breathing again but I had to go to the hospital because I started coughing up blood. Apparently the rough edges of the cap made a few small cuts in my throat and it took about a week to heal.

I wouldn’t say there was a ‘scariest moment of my life.’ But one of them was when I was hospitalised at the beginning of this year. I had a severe tummy ache going on for hours before I decided to go to the hospital the next afternoon. In the hospital, it began to become even more painful, and Doctors still didn’t know what it was. I was scared I had a disease, because symptoms proved so.

If it was a virus, it shouldn’t have been so painful. Till this day, the exact reason is unknown.

When I was around 8 years old I was at a CCHS family convention either in South Carolina or Florida. There was a pool and I slipped into it (according to my mom 8 jumped in lol). Now I didn't know how to swim and I was just flailing underwater. Fortunately I was pulled out, AlHamdulillah.

Yikes! It always scarier when the doctors say that they don't know.

Mine was when I was 10. I was on a holiday in Thailand and I went to this big shopping mall with my aunt. And then, I got lost because my aunt unwittingly ditched me. It took an hour of grief to find me with my shopping cart.

I was walking to school last year with one of my friends. I wasn't paying attention and I was talking to her. I crossed the street and almost got ran over by a car, but she pulled me. It took me like 2 seconds to process the situation.

Now that I look back at it, it wasn't really scary, just amusing that I was that close to death.

Ladies and gentlemen sit down and get ready for tales from Ypsitucky

So all of the scariest events in my life happened when I lived in Ypsilanti except one which I will touch on later. The first scary thing to happen when i was in Ypsilanti was when I woke up in mid afternoon to the sound of automatic weapons fire three blocks North of my apartment. I called my friend Demecos and told him to get off the streets cause something was happening and he showed up at my place and we crouched behind the window staring out, wondering when the gunfire would end. For 15 minutes there was the sound of shots ringing out down the street before it got silent and the police appeared maybe a half hour later.

The second terrifying incident happened maybe a day later when me and demecos were walking down the street at like almost midnight. We were on the city's Southside and a guy passed us. Not even seconds later, a car pulled up and began shooting at this guy who was only a few feet away from us. We had to run and duck between houses just to escape. I legit thought we would die that night. Then on the following night a guy robbed us both at gunpoint near downtown.

One time in ypsi, me and him went to the one school on the south side just to sit around and talk shit, and these two guys dressed all in black came from behind the building and headed toward us. We walked away but they followed us down the street and all the way through downtown before we managed to lose them. Pretty sure they were gonna rob us.

Then there was the time I was in Utica and got in an argument with a guy on PCP, and he decided to just attack me. Man almost tore me apart and it took ten people to get him off me. I thought I was gonna die then too.

Bet no one has a scarier incident than the ones I listed

Probably the scariest moment in my life was about a year or something ago, when someone in my church took me out of a youth meeting to spend two hours trying to change something about me. It's also basically the only time I've cried in ten years or something. That was actually terrifying at the time, although I've seen snakes before too.

I’m gonna go with the alley mugging with a knife. I think that was probably the most terrifying moment for me.

The scariest moment(S) of my life had to be the immediate few minutes after the car I was riding was struck by a drunk driver. I remember the world going black as I watched the oncoming car spin out control as it came toward us. Then...nothing. For what felt like an eternity I lingered in the darkness, thinking that I had died and was now adrift in an endless void. After a few moments I came to and the first thing I noticed were the long streaks of blood running down my arms/how numb I felt. It was shortly after that I saw my father yanking open the car door with a look of sheer terror on his face. He pulled me out and laid me next to my mother on the grass next to the car while a crowd of people surrounded us. I know it sounds silly to say all of these years later, but I felt like at that moment that I was only a few moments away from death. Yet the scariest thing about it was that had car rolled over just one more time,neither my mother or myself would be here today.

Does said scariest moment have to be something we remember? Because I have 2 stories: 1 I don't remember and another I barely remember.

It surely is a mystery. They suspect it’s a stomach virus and concluded with that, but it’s not officially recognised. It’s extremely weird, but their painkillers helped me to cure that pain within the following week.

I face this situation everyday, going to school. I look at my phone the other day and almost got hit by a van. Thank God my friend was behind me. From that I learnt that I shouldn’t use my phone whilst walking.

I probably have told this story in TET before but not all of you look at that.

When I was about 11 me and some friends went on a trip to Hwange Park. Out in the veldt there was some trees by a small river we were playing at when something landed on my shoulder from the tree. I look over to see a tarantula about the size of my face sitting there. After screaming my little heart out I decided that the best course of action was to jump in the river and swim away from the spider. In retrospect that was a much worse idea, seeing that I didn't know if there were tigerfish or worse hippos in the river, but I swam about 100 metres down river before climbing back onto shore.

What were you doing in africa? Or was it Florida

I was hit by a drunk driver when I was crossing the road. I broke both my legs and had a concussion from my head smashing into the windscreen. When I got hit I thought that was it. That was how I was going to go out.

I was born there and I grew up there. I'm Zimbabwean.

Bet. Imma tell the scariest one last.

1: When I was 8 years old I got pneumonia. That's.....pretty much all I remember, besides laying in bed very sick and going to the doctor's once.

2: When I was born I wasn't breathing. My parents and doctors were very confused at to what was happening. After a few tests (or however doctors find out a baby has a problem) it was found that I have CCHS.

For the sake of not giving me a panic attack, I will tell you a story that does not involve not-advertiser friendly scenarios and one that involves a ram.

When I was six, I was walking down the street to meet up with a friend of mine when I heard this beastly sound. It sounded, to me at the age of six anyways, like the Devil himself was cursing me down. I turned around and there it was. The cutest ram you would ever see. It was all buggy-eyed and looking at me while making that god-awful scream. Of course, me being six, I got scared shitless of the harmless animal and ran away screaming for my mother.

Looking back, it was rather silly, but at the time I was so freaking scared I thought that the day I saw that ram was the day I would die.

I can't even imagine how that must have felt D: Thank goodness you were lucky enough survive!

Something on the TV. And I thought it would SEND ME TO HELL or something. So pretty scary for me, who was very young. Luckily my mother helped me through those trying times. But still, it was horrific. Now that I look back on it, it was probably a movie trailer and not a broadcast from hell to pull my soul in.

The ram was like "one of us is going down"

Hell is right here. I'm pulled into it every time I turn the news on and see what a joke our dying society has become

If it wasn't Christian it must be hell.
It's lucky your mother helped you there, though.

I don't remember what age I was, but I was pretty little when this happened. Me and my family went into a maze and I got lost in there. I'm just glad that's the scariest moment in my life because Ik a lot of people go through worst and scarier things.
