Why the Hell is it that everything that can possibly go wrong always goes wrong on my damn plane?!

As if traveling in the dark was not enough with the threat of being caught by those flying things and human cultists, we were up to our knees in something I can roughly describe as metaphorical guano, and politely describe as abject danger. Then again, it is not every day that one must team up with an alien time-traveler that wields an electric gun in order to destroy an evil lair straight from the pages of an action novella lurking in an ancient city underneath the Great Sandy Desert.
In the belly of the beast. It's a Biblical phrase, one you hear way too bloody often if you ask me. You want to know what being in the literal belly of the beast feels like, though, you could damn well do worse than being down where we were, in a cavern city more ancient and massive than any dinosaur - a place I am intricately, and strangely, all too familiar with...
Note: This post is cross-posted from Reddit's r/shatter board, where I posted pictures, and r/crimescene, where I first mentioned the story. The story was not posted on r/gore as per their policy, but it is mentioned. All of these subreddits are always NSFW. They are all quite gory and the latter features images, video, and gifs of actual deaths. The second features death and true crime scene images, some of them of child and animal victims. It's for that reason I emphasize the following - please, do not visit these subreddits if injury/death/gore bother you in any way. Especially r/gore, for the love of God, Viewer Discretion Incredibly Advised on that one. It's Quarantined for a reason.
-------- So, I have a hell of a story to tell you guys. I was almost a victim featured on r/crimescene. Just on Sunday, I was in a really horrible car accident. It was at a place I didn't realize was infamous for a lot of collisions, and I didn't see the light turn. I ended up slamming into a van coming off the highway, at 55 MPH. Both airbags went off, and I blacked out for a few minutes from the force of the impact. When I came back to, a guy wanted to know if I was okay. I was just so dazed from the impact I didn't even realize what had happened at first. I was bleeding from cuts to my hand from broken glass; the left window had absolutely shattered. I was okay, but dazed, and able to walk away from the wreck, thank god. Only scratches, whiplash, and cuts - nothing broken, possible mild concussion but otherwise alright. My car was absolutely totaled, and I was covered in glass and airbag dust. There were first responders involved and fortunately, the EMT checked me and I was alright. Since the crash, I've been anxious in cars and every day around the same time as the crash, the anxiety gets worse. I'm fairly certain I was mildly concussed, because I've noticed my speech has slurred a bit from normal, I was disoriented and dizzy for the last week, with my ears having not stopped ringing since the accident. Thinking was foggy - especially when recalling distant past memories - and I've forgotten some bits of info like old computer passwords, some really distant details of things, etc. Nothing super meaningful. Typing long responses or reading too many things made my brain feel more fatigued than usual as well. It has gotten better, though, from resting, and I am 100% fine now, enough to run a game for my players tonight. Otherwise, I'm okay and all the physical injuries have healed nicely. This is why I haven't been posting this week and am behind, by about two or so weeks, on material for the Thousand Masks Saga. I was just too mentally fatigued from the trauma, stress, and minor concussion to work on it. I needed the mental and emotional break. Things should be back to normal by mid-August, but until then I will be a bit behind on the material for Australia's entries. I have four of them queued up now, and am just working on finding time to write and post them. This may take a week or two, so please be patient while I get them up. All things concerned, I'm pretty fucking lucky. The police said it was the worst accident that they had seen at that intersection in a very long time. I could easily be hospitalized or another dead girl on r/gore. Thank every deity that ever was or could be that I was not, and I am here to share the story. I'm carless, yes - but alive. Stay safe when you drive, everyone, and for the love of God, wear your seat belt. It's what saved me from going through the windshield. |
