Near Death
The noodle was caught on the way down, death was upon me. It was the best macaroni and cheese that man has ever known. A perfect mixture of milk and butter created an explosion of flavor in my mouth. I never would have seen what was coming, death was waiting around the corner ready to ambush. As the noodle slipped down my throat, something went wrong. My air flow was restricted and everything turned black and white. I panicked. Was I just going to sit there and suffocate? Would this meal be my last? I was ready to give up, but something in my brain told me to fight for my life. So, as a final act of desperation, I gave a single mighty cough and the projectile came loose! I had made it! I had beat the odds and triumphed. I was later featured on the show ‘I shouldn’t be alive. ’
