On The Verge of Death

A few weeks ago, me and my family were having a splendid sunday evening: After attending an organ concert, we went to dine in an Italian restaurant I had found online several days before. It had thousands of excellent reviews and was located in the very heart of Moscow. At first, everything was just perfect: We had ordered our meals and were more than satisfied with both the prices and the food quality. It was rather cold outside, so we also got some fruit tea to warm us up. As I was finishing my third cup of this delicious beverage, I noticed some small glass fragments at the bottom of the cup. Yes, some glass fragments! In my third cup! I instantly felt my stomach growling and, becoming aghast, looked at the glass teapot and noticed that one part of it was missing. Now, I understand that the drink must have been so scalding that that part could just imperceptibly break and fall inside the teapot. The most terrifying fact was that I did not know the amount of glass I had consumed, if any. I can not describe that ineffable feeling of fear and apprehenshion one his covered with in such situations. Everything went well eventually, and I didn't have a single symptom of any intestinal problems. The whole story is so absurd and unprobable that I was not even sure about posting it here. I think I will never forget this evening.

Wow, this was a really well told and scary story. Especially the way you revealed the problem: "As I was finishing my third cup of this delicious beverage, I noticed some small glass fragments at the bottom of the cup." Terrifying! Great writing!
