WR's Near Death Experience

Post by Underdog »

Yeah, so the regulars all went out to a mill and when we got to about the 7th floor or so WR took a step into a hole that went about 7 stories straight down an empty silo. Luckily he fell forward and his front half didn't go in. He pulled himself out after having Anne take a picture (don't ask). Everyone is alright except for maybe WR's camera. Now we have all learned a valuable lesson to watch where you are going in dark mills at night.

Yeah... Seriously, if my right foot hadn't caught the edge of the hole, I would've gone down and I probably would've died. That's seriously the closest to getting myself killed that I've ever come, and I'm still pretty freaked out about it. Plus, I'm really depressed about my fucking thousand dollar camera taking a hard knock. It seems to be working fine, but it's making some funny noises now.

Wow, that was fast. Yeah, I was kind of worried about your camera. At least it didn't take the big plunge. I'm glad you didn't either, of course.

That said, someone needs to post that picture, post haste.

yeah, i saw him fall
and i gasped
but i didnt start to seriously freak out until i looked down into that massive fucking hole--i shouldnt have done that
IT FREAKED ME OUT
im really sorry, guys, if i brought anyone down with my sudden mood change but that scared the ever loving SHIT out of me
looking at that picture anne posted makes my stomach hurt even, and my heart's racing just thinking about it.
its just unreal to think how easily he could have fallen into that hole and DIED
WAAAAAAY too close
i think you were right, underdog--someone WAS looking out for him
