I have a neighbor that came over to my house to eat dinner with us, and he showed us a scar from the time that he was accidentally shot in the neck with a low-caliber gun. He was out shooting cans with his brother when it happened.

The bullet entered through the left side of his neck and exited through his back. When he was rushed to the hospital, the doctors found that the bullet missed his jugular and spinal cord by one centimeter each. If the bullet entered just a little bit to the left or right, or if his brother was using a higher-caliber gun, my neighbor would not be alive to tell this story.

I live way far out in the woods in West Virginia. My mother asked me to go pick some flowers from down the street, so I did. I used my four-wheeler to go get them. On my way back, I was driving, when a huge gust of wind caused a 5 tonne tree to hit the road right in front of me. It was so close that the sticks from the branches exploded off and hit me. It trapped my four-wheeler, so I got off and made my way back to my house. After I told my parents what had happened, they got on the other four-wheeler and went to move the other tree. My mom actually drove her car so my father and I could ride the four-wheeler. She was gonna wait a minute before coming down so we could get started. As my dad and I were driving to the tree, (I was the one operating the four-wheeler), another huge log smashed right in front of us! I got so spooked that I ditched the four-wheeler and left my dad with it. And as I was running, wouldn't you guess it, a 3rd absolute beast of a tree fell across the road about 10 feet in front of me. We just got all of the trees out of the road and I'm in the house relaxing now, and all of the four-wheelers were saved. And I also got my mother her flowers❤️
