It was weird . On night I had just made pancakes , and was really excited to get a taste , so I took a large bite and didn ' t chew properly before swallowing . I wasn ' t choking or anything , but suddenly it just felt like I wasn ' t getting any blood to my brain . My vision darkened , my head got heavy and my heart pounded faster than ever . I tried to stand up , but I couldn ' t move . I was sure this was it . I was completely convinced I going to die because of a fucking pancake . I wasn ' t really afraid , but I was sad I wouldn ' t get to do more with my life . I imagined how horrible it would be for my father to lose me , his youngest son , a few years after losing my mother . It felt like time stood still , but it was probably only 30 seconds or so . Then it passed and I felt completely fine . Didn ' t finish the pancakes and haven ' t had any since .
