Worst Case Scenario
Did you ever felt so alone that you thought you were dead? Well, it’s happened to me. It was a shinny day without clouds in the Alps. I was climbing for two hours when I made a terrible mistake. I’d place a cam in an unsecure crack and then I fell from thirty feets high. I thought I would die on the impact but a tree amortized my fall. I’ve been unconscious for, at least, one hour and a half. When I finally opened my eyes I immediately felt my painful injuries and I was unable to move my legs. Even if I was in a bad condition, it took me a while to realize that I was totally alone. But when I did, I felt so hopeless and isolated from civilization. I had no cell phone, no medication, no food and no one to help me out. At night, my hope had completely disappeared and replace by fear. I was afraid to die alone in this mountain and never see my family again. And then, I’ve start thinking about how death is. How can I know if I’m still alive if I can’t move? But finally, on the next day, three climbers came to have a nice day in the Alps and saw me lying down where I thought it was my grave.
