Life Flashing Before My Eyes - My Terrifying Story

avatar
(Edited)

Share a terrifying story and two incidents came to my mind where I thought I'd really lose my life or sanity. I think it's best I share both since I'm not sure which was most terrifying or I'll say both were terrifying to me equally. You can decide the most terrifying one after reading through.

Maybe being in an area where a robbery incident took place and took some people's lives is more terrifying.

Or maybe almost being hit by a big truck is more terrifying.

Here is what happened in the first story...

I had just moved to my new place in school, a lot of reasons made me choose the area and up till now, I'd say it was one of the best place to live in since I've been living away from home. The house owner came in my first night to confirm that I have settled in and have no complain then went back to his place.

I saw that a lot of the rooms in the hostel haven't been rented out or the occupants are yet to resume, I wanted to feel scared but locking my doors and staying calm inside my room gave me some confidence. That night could have gone smooth for me but I was woken up by a loud bang from a distance I knew wasn't so far.

Another bang again made me realize what I was hearing, a gunshot!

I was lying down on my bed before the bang but I went down on the cold floor out of fear, put my hands on my mouth just so my shaky lips won't be heard if possible 😂 I was so scared that they were definitely coming for me next.

I couldn't sleep through that time until morning but kept praying and in tears that nothing happens to me on my first day in school. Early in the morning, everywhere was supposed to be calm but I could hear people shouting and some talking loudly with almost nothing taken from their words.

The house owner came knocking on my door and asked if I heard the bang last night, I was like "Is it possible not to hear that? I almost peed on myself!" 😂 He explained that it was a cult thing disguised as robbery to take the life of a runaway cult member. It was the first time I heard it in reality that such really happens.

I was assured not to worry since such won't happen again, the house owner was a renowned person in the society and he didn't keep calm about the incident. I don't know how exactly it went but I never had such a scary moment while living there anymore even though I felt a little traumatized for some day in my first week living there.

The other story happened in the early morning of a Sunday

I never believed it until it happened to me that day. Having the feeling not to go out but forcing it anyways and facing a misfortune no matter how little. I had to force myself that morning since it was a time to go worship God even though it was the church I worship with but I was on a visit and was still little.

We had to use about three bike to get to our destination since we were many and going to the same place that morning but the bike I was on with one other person couldn't stop overtaking and being on speed. The worse didn't happen but I can remember very much how terrified I was.

Just when I thought he had slowed down a bit, we all fell down from the bike on a tarred road and a big truck coming from a short distance. I hit my head and back bone to the ground since I was sitting at the back so I couldn't find the strength I needed to stand up immediately or maybe I had concluded the vehicle will come climbing me in just a few seconds.

How I left there to a chemist close by is a thing to be thankful for. I didn't sustain much injury but my life flashing before my eyes at that moment when I fell is one thing I haven't forgotten since it happened.

So tell me, which do you think was more terrifying?

The first incident is not so scary in my opinion but I feel the second one is extremely terrifying and It might cost your life. Some bikes are so restless in case of overtaking that many accidents occur. I have seen several situations in front of my eyes.

I think the Sunday morning incidence is more terrifying than any other.

firstly , robbers don't kill unless they were being sent to do so, they just want your possessions and you have a chance of living again although this story was an unfortunate one.But driving has claimed equal or even a lot more lives than illness have. infact, a lot of people do survive after illness but it only takes the grace of God to survive after a sever car accident or any sort of road accident and death is always instant in most cases.
thank God you're still alive today ❤️

Once I was going with my brother on the bike. The bike fell on a busy road. A big bus was coming behind us. It stopped only a few steps away. Thankfully we were safe. Such incidents are terrifying and leave deep marks in our memory.

Fear fear merit in your first experience,🤣.. although it's understandable knowing that the hostel wasn't filled with people yet. And in your second story, I really felt how terrifying it was to you... imagine a car climbing on you while still on the ground, oh no ..glad it didn't happen but only a little injury

The second story is more terrifying. Helplessly waiting for the worse. Thank God that you didn't have major injury.

I thought these cult stuff happened only in movie. Thank God you didn’t go out, sometimes it’s good to be in your lane.

One thing I’ve never liked in my life is motor bikes because I always get scared. Compared to cars, motor bikes come with a lot of risks. Aside the fact that you’re exposed, these riders don’t even use helmets and same applies to passengers. I’m sorry you had to go through this.

My dear, I'm just so grateful it didn't get past that situation. Thank you 😊

Oh dear, anyone will be scared to death facing a moving truck in such manner. I can say that both are terrifying. Anyone with poor health can faint at the sound of a gunshot, panic attack or just anything might happen.
May we all live in peace and serenity from all the dangers on this earth.

I have been in such a situation in school too but mine happened when I was out. It even happened twice which is crazy.

On the other hand, I am always calm when choosing bike men cos most of them act like life is just nothing to them. I am glad you are safe.

Hello dearest dreemer, I hope you are well. Hehe, it is the most anticipated day again, TGIF. Have fun today in all you do. I waltzed in from #dreemport, for I am an amazing #dreemer. An awesomely made #dreemerforlife.

Gunshots? You are a strong woman, I don't know how I would have reacted if I was the one in your shoes. So this cult something is still existing? God abeg🤣🤣

That accident was such a narrow escape, thank God for the miracle.

Now I think it is a really difficult choice to make between both stories. Above all, I am thankful that my Mer Mer is here, hale, hearty, and safe to tell the story now.
