Massive Heart Attack Imagine smelling burnt rubber on a hot Mississippi evening, being stranded in the dark waiting for help to come, imagine never seeing your nineteenth birthday. The day my friends and
I almost died, my car had a flat tire, and I didn’t have any money. It was one of the scariest days of my life. I learned that in a matter of hours situations can go from good too bad.
The day started off real nice. My friends and I just finish playing a fierce NBA 2k tournament in the dorms of Jones Junior College. My friend name Keo got mad because he was losing most of the games. The other guys were making fun of him, so he suggested we play a real game of basketball to see …show more content…
Then suddenly I here my phone ring so I stop and see that my friend
Joe from William Carey was calling me. He called to asked if we wanted to play basketball at

As we neared Carey I stop at a gas station to check the spare, then I realized it wasn’t a full spare it was a donut. Just my luck; so finally making to Carey through all the rattling in my car I asked Joe if he could give us a ride back to Jones after we got finished. He said “yes” but he asked me what I was going to do with my car. My other brilliant plan was to leave it there and take it to Walmart and buy a new tire once I got my money transferred into my account. After the game of basketball, we went ahead with the plan. Tyler, Keo, and myself got into Joe’s car and we began driving back to Jones. As we were getting ready to leave Hattiesburg
