Re: This really happened!

[herpymcderp]

The most insane piece of irl foreshadowing I have ever seen.

It was in maybe 1997 or 98'. I was a teenager, and my friend had an older boyfriend who ran a D&D group. I decided to play with them for a while. The DM (let's call him M) was a generally nice guy, kind of a tool, and was just enlisting in the Canadian Forces reserves. He liked to go on about it all the time and make out like it made him the toughest guy around.

Anyway, M was also the one with the driver's license (since he was about four years older than us) so every so often he'd pick us up or drive us home. I had other friends who played D&D at the time, and one evening I wanted to introduce one of them to the group since they were always looking for more players. I'll call her S.

Now, S and I lived on the side of a mountain at the time, but in S's case it was literally ON THE SIDE of a mountain. The road up to her house had, and still has, a sheer drop off the side at one point that's around 500-600ft straight down. This is a very dangerous spot because there's no way to put up any barriers and furthermore the road is steep, windy, and there's barely room for two cars to pass. There is one particular bend in the road that is a very sudden incline with a sharp, almost 75 degree turn with that cliff right on the other side.

Well, as usual M was acting cocky - trying to prove how tough he was - and as soon as he left her place I knew he was going too fast. I told him to slow down, twice, and he was just laughing and saying, "Nah I got this." just as we came up on that part of the road. All I remember is yelling at him to slow down, hearing my friend screaming, and expecting to feel an impact at any second. When we all opened our eyes the first two wheels of the car were hanging off the edge of the cliff. I opened my door and it swung out into thin air. Luckily, the vehicle was pretty well wedged onto the edge and wasn't going anywhere, but I can only imagine how it could have gone.

We all got out safely, and while M called for a tow truck and S tried not to cry, I told him these exact words: Your driving is going to get you fucking killed someday.

Now, I've never considered myself particularly prophetic, and I lost touch with M soon after (he broke up with my other friend and was deployed)... but I was shocked to learn that around 3 years later, he was killed in Iraq when the car he was in struck an IED. What did seem a little bit spooky, and what still bothers me from time to time to this day is the fact that M had been driving.

I was right. His driving really did get him killed.

It very well COULD have been carelessness, in which case I mostly feel sorry for any people that might have been in the vehicle with him.

on the other hand, bad shit happens in warzones that no-one could have avoided.

Re: This really happened!

[herpymcderp]

Well it's more that I sincerely felt that he was going to die while driving a vehicle and then he did that gets me. True, there was more of a chance of dying in a war zone, but he also could have been a passenger or he could have been blown up or shot or something. It didn't have to be him driving, you know?

Ever since then (and another time that I said I hoped someone got cancer and then they actually did get cancer) I purposefully avoid saying things like that just in case they come true.

Wow, with my fear of heights, this story is making me tremble, lol.

Re: This really happened!

[herpymcderp]

I have come pretty close to dying on a few occasions, but this was definitely one of the times where I was seriously terrified I was about to not exist anymore.
