When the branches fell

Not too long ago, there were reports on death caused by falling branches. My sis warned me to be more careful when I go for my trek.

Trust me, careful is not the word, LUCK is......

One cooling night, after having a nice gathering at Demsey Hut, I was walking towards the carpark with siblings. We heard a slight "tsk tsk" sound, the next second a few branches landed on the floor, creating a loud "bang". One of them brushed against my temple and hit hard on the shoulder. OUCH!

But, what a close escape! Just another cm to my left, I will be labelled by the media as "Another victim of falling branches".

I was told to listen carefully for suspicious sound, apparently it doesn't help. When the branches decided to fall, they will come fast and hard.

And I guess, it works the same for any kind of accident. So, instead of telling someone be careful, maybe we should change to GOOD LUCK?
