It's a long story. I was at a festival with a bunch of friends. One morning we were all out of our tents talking, except for one friend. He refused to come out, even though everyone was calling for him. Some girls went to his tent, calling him, but he doesn't care and stays put. Because he stayed there for so long, he thought it would be funny to suddenly storm out of his tent. A guy-wire was stuck between his toes and he tripped. There was some blood so we told him to go to the first-aid station, but he refused.
The next day his feet became infected so he had to go to the first-aid station anyway. There they 'cleaned' the wound by opening it up with sand paper. His foot was hurting real bad and so he decided to take it easy, not to dance, and to just relax and enjoy the music.
We all agreed to meet up at a tent at a particular point in time that night, but my friend and I got separated from the rest of the group, and we still had an hour left to fill. We went to a tent where a comedy show was about to start. Music was playing, boring music really. As we waited for the show to start a song came along that my friend really liked, so forgot his foot and began to dance and jump like a wild man. After the comedy show was over, when we got up from our seats, his foot was hurting more than before. After a long discussion we decided to go back to our tents and to just hang out there.
We arrive, grab two charis and sit down. As we start talking we hear a low sound from somewhere, lasting only a second. We keep quiet for a few seconds but we hear nothing. We begin to talk again, but the sound repeats, a sort of groan. As we look around us we hear someone gurgling in one of our tents. We rush to the tent, open it, and look inside. We see one of our friends lying on his back, vomiting all over his face without moving a finger. We drag him outside, turn him over, and begin to clean his face and tent. He doesn't respond to what we're saying, he isn't registering anything that's happening around him, he only vomits and groans sometimes.
I still can't believe that this happened. If my friend hadn't decided to stay in his tent, suddenly jumping out wouldn't have been funny. If he didn't think it would be funny to rush out of the tent, he wouldn't have hurt his foot with the guy-wire, something he could've easily missed. If he didn't refuse to go to the first-aid station right away, his foot wouldn't have become infected. If we didn't go to that comedy show, where a song played my friend really liked among boring music, he wouldn't have danced and jumped, hurting his foot in the process. If we didn't decide to go back to the tent, after all those coincidences, our friend would've drowned in his own vomit. And to think that he got sick only a few minutes after we grabbed our chairs and sat down.
