232: Lesli was saved by a neighbor
You and I make decisions, all day every day. But have you
ever thought about being able to have a choice about how you die?
I mean, most people would probably prefer a method that’s
quick and painless, so I guess we might want to have some say in the matter.
But being put in that position of having to actually choose – in the moment –
is not something that happens very often.
But that’s the situation Lesli was in. This is a Flashback
episode, and Lesli told this story on the podcast about five years ago. I
wasn’t able to get in touch with her for an update conversation, but what
you’re about to hear is a super crazy story of what happened to her in
Nashville.
And how her neighbor, Bill, came to her rescue without a
moment to spare.

231: Tina escaped the exploding batteries
Have you ever been awakened in the middle of the night because
something terrible was happening?
It’s definitely not a pleasant way to wake up. This happened
to a 27 year old man named Nick, and he wrote about it on social media –
I was sleeping at my girlfriend’s house last night.
Usually we pass out around midnight, but last night we didn’t get to sleep
until around 1:30 or so. It was around 3am when I woke up and swear I saw
someone’s head peeking in & staring at us through the bedroom door.
Adrenaline shot through my entire body. I went into complete fight mode - I got
up and charged towards the door, with my loyal, badass dog following right
behind me. As I ran out and looked around, I didn’t see anyone. My dog and I
probably looked around for a solid minute until I finally snapped out of it and
realized it had just been a dream. And the fact my dog wasn’t going ape shit
brought me out of it as well.
The thing is, even if it turns out to be nothing, for most
people it’s still going to be difficult to get back to sleep.
My guest today is Tina – she’s a wife, and a mother. She was
awakened in the middle of the night, and it wasn’t a false alarm. What woke her
up was an ACTUAL alarm. Tina’s house was on fire.
If you’d like to contact Tina, she’s in the WWTL Facebook
group.

To Build a Fire
When I started this podcast more than seven years ago, the
primary factor was based on just one fundamental concept: the impact of a good
story.
For each What Was That Like main episode, you hear a story.
The guest is telling the story of what happened. Many of the stories are
traumatic, many include loss and grief, and there are those that are happy as
well. Even the heavy stories often end on a positive note. But the common
factor is that they are all things that actually happened. The guest is talking
about an actual thing that they experienced.
The story you’re about to hear in this episode would fall
into the category of fiction.
In a recent episode, my guest was David, and he was talking
about being in the extremely cold north, and not being able to find a cabin
that he knew was nearby. That one is episode 225, called “David couldn’t find
the cabin”. In that episode, I opened with the first few lines from one of my
favorite short stories – To Build A Fire, by Jack London. Reading just that
short section made me want to read the full story again.
And that’s what I’m doing in today’s episode. Jack London is
my favorite author, and I love this story because he really puts us in the mind
of this man, and his thought process, and his range of emotions.
So we’ll first have a quick break for a couple of sponsors
who make the show possible, and then we’ll get into this story. Please enjoy
this amazing work by Jack London… To Build A Fire.
