Hello, and welcome
This is the second version of 'My almost death experience', I'm here to tell you something scary that happened to me and freaked me out. It didn't actually kill me but it could have
I went to the fair with a friend of mine, we met at my mom's place and took our bicycles and rode to the fair without any issues (approximately 3,5 kilometres or 2,17 miles). It was already around past 7 PM so the sun was beginning to set.
We parked our bicycles in a sidestreet and enjoyed the fair (I won a plush bear :D)
Around 11 PM, we took our bicycles again and drove back home. My friend had a very strict curfew and would be banned out of her house for that night if she arrived past curfew. Awful luck struck me when both of my lights stopped working late at night. The streets we drove were dark and multiple car drivers opened their window and yelled at me, how dangerous it was and how I was endangering both myself, my friend and them. My lights malfunctioned so them yelling at me wasn't magically going to fix it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The infuriating car-drivers aside..
When our paths split, we wave goodbye and she goes home (and, if you'd be interested, arrives before curfew and has a wonderful night). Then, I still have to ride an approximate 2 kilometres (1,24 miles) to my dad's place. I do a quick stop at my mom. My mom and I live in a relatively big house with unlit parking and unlit garden, so I'm always so scared when I'm home alone at night. As fast as I can I take a piss and gather some electronica I'd like to take with me to my dad for the week (iPad, music box, headphones, etc.)
The road I had to drive had no lighting at all and was only one-way traffic, there was no cycle path. If the car-driver wouldn't see me, he'd hit me and I'd probably die considering everyone races across that street ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I used my phone's flashlight and stuck it in the back of my backpack, on top of some tissues. This way, only my flashlight would juuuust about be noticeable. It wasn't much but at least the cars coming from behind would be able to kind of see me
Like this wasn't enough, just when I departed, it started storming. Thunder and lightning included.
I had to get going though, my dad wasn't at home so heck curfew, but I didn't want to stay at my mom's place, especially with the storm. Usually, I ride at a pace of 20 kmh (12,43 mph), but I'm pretty sure that the adrenaline in my body got that up to a whopping 30 kmh (18,64 mph). With every sound that I heard, I started speeding up. I was so scared, so alone and so wet. And it was dark.
I eventually made it to my dad, alive. I got in the house, immediately shut my door, triple-locked it. Checked all the rooms for scary monsters and got me a lovely pizza.
Last time, a lot of people shared their own 'almost death experiences' (some real ones, and some fake ones like this one), I'd like to see y'all do this again as they were all so much fun to read!)
Thanks for reading x
