Feburary 11th, 2008
Did anyone, and I mean, anyone, check to see how I was? Hhrm? Check to see how the old webhead was doing? Because, you know, there was a fire. And that means, you know, I could be hurt. Or buried under the frickin' beams.
I just got back. Yeah! Thanks, everyone, for caring so much about me. I was stuck under the rubble of the burning house forever! I missed the Superbowl!
A firefighter found me. Man, I thought I was never getting out of there.
So here's how it happened:
Someone was cooking for the Superbowl, and the kitchen caught on fire. Everyone got out fine, which is fantastic. But I went in just to make sure, you know, doing the whole 'hero' thing. So I didn't realize how bad the fire was, and a beam fell on top of me and knocked me out. I was buried under there for a heck of a long time.
I woke up a day or two later, and I didn't even realize what had happened. I was really dehydrated and hungry. I tried moving, but I didn't want to get buried even more, you know, make things worse. The beam that had fallen on me was crushing me. The firefighters were working on clearing the mess, little by little.
I felt someone move some stuff not too far above me. That's when the dude saw my costume. "Hey...holy crap! Youseguys! Youseguys! Gemme a medic!" I heard him scream. He took the beam off me, which was amazing. I could breathe again. He lifted me up. "Spider-Man! Are you okay?"
"Oy..." I moaned.
"Spider-Man! Oh my god, man!"
I was starting to feel a bit better, since a beam wasn't crushing me anymore. "Yeah..."
An ambulance was called, and I sat inside, breathing into an oxygen mask. I felt a lot better. "Man, how long was I under there for?"
"About a week, man," the firefighter told me. He was so amazed that he found me, he didn't want to leave me the hell alone.
"A week? Oh man! Oh, man!" I jumped out of the ambulance. "I gotta go!" I grabbed the guy on the shoulder. "Thanks, dude. I owe you one," I told him. The firefighter smiled. He was like, O. M. G. Spider-Man touched me.
So yeah, I was buried under a house. One thing to check off my Bucket List, huh?
