Last year, Phil went to Rock Mountain far From Riverside. He drove his car and stopped in parking. After he walked alone to mountain, he started climbing a large rock. Suddenly, when he was climbing, huge rock dropped in his right arm. So he could not move his arm, he was stuck. Phil was waiting for people to help him, but no one was over there. At night, the weather became colder and freezing, and he worked to free himself. Next day he was thinking about his family and friends, and he did not know what he had to do. At that time, he could not feel his arm. His arm was numb. Then he decided to cut his arm off in order to survive. First, he forced his arm against the rock to break it. Next, Phil applied a tourniquet his arm, and used his knife to cut off his right arm below the elbow. It was hard for him to cut it. Since that time, his friends and family were looking for him because he did not answer his phone and his did not show up. So they called authorities to look for him. When they found him, he rescued himself.
I was surprised when I read this story. He is still alive, and he enjoys his life like a normal people. But he gave people experience to not go climbing alone. However, he chose to cut his arm off. In addition, he was in bad condition, but he chose the best way!
If I were him, I would be shocked too much, cry all day and I did not know what I have to do. I was impressed by him very much.

Something can’t kill me, definitely you’ll stronger.

Mark was really serious because he was bad stalker to one of his friends. One day, he really wanted to meet her, Candy. At a hill for hanging out, But she refused his requirement. He missed too much her, so he had better meet her at that time. Then he went around her house. He started waiting in front of her house gate. He was so exited because he would be able to meet her 4 hours later. Finally she came back home and saw him in front of the gate. He wanted to her to know his effort, so he told her.

“I had been waiting for you for 4 hours here. It had been so cold, but it hadn’t matter, If I can meet you, see you, hear you.”

She was really scared because he was not her lover even just friend. In fact, Mark didn’t know about Candy at all. He needed to get her cell phone number to keep in touch with her, so he asked school-officer-assistant to get her cell phone number. And then he lied to officer. He told him.

“She is my first lover, but she went another country 3 years ago without any saying, but I saw her at cafeteria yesterday. Then she was disappeared. I really miss her. You know first love is really important. Please would you give me her cell phone number?”

Then the officer was really impressed, so she gave him her personal information. When he called her first time, he didn’t use his cell phone and used public telephone booth for hiding his exist. First time he was so shy and needed to check her reactions.

After calling many times, he found a way to make appointment with her. Before he joined his high school graduation reunion, he checked his graduation photo album. That’s a coincidence for him to see her picture in the album. That’s so! She was the same school student as him. Later, he called her. And he told her.

“yeah~. Hey I’m glad to talk with you. Do you remember me? Me… Mark!! I went to the same school as you and we were the same grade in our high school.”

Candy was embarrassed. It was first time to be called by stranger. She didn’t have any choice. She had to say hello to Mark. He called her again a week later, and told her.

“I’m waiting for you in the main gate of our university.”

She didn’t want to meet him, he was just stranger, but she was really wondering who he is, so she approved him and then…..

Ps : that’ story is kind of long. I want to finish, but it’s difficult. Anyway, Finally Mark was failed to get love. And then he was sick, considered about his personality and stalking. He couldn’t stand it, so he wanted to die. But when he was falling down, he thought that life is really beautiful. And then he tried to live again.

Thank you!

In this story, a man, Chris,went to Rocky mountain far from the Riverside on his summer vacation.
He drove his car and stopped. After he walked alone to the mountain without his cell phone. Because he wanted to have time alone, so he didn't tell anybody about his vacation.

He started climbing at the mountain. While he was climbing, he felt pleasure. A few minutes later, he fell down with big rock and then he felt furious pain. The big rock was pressing his right arm. He couldn't move. He thought what he had. He has a little food, a jaket, a knife and etc. At the night, it started to be cold, so he wore the jaket but he wore short pants. Therefore, he felt intense cold. Next morning, he decided to cut off his arm because he thought only if he cut off his arm, he could be alive. Then he held the knife and he began cutting his arm. He was cutting it for one hour because the knife was small for fruit. After cutting it, he tied his arm and he began finding a person who could help him
from this nightmare. He had walked and walked again. After three hours, he heard a little bit of sound as if there were many people. Yes he was right. What he heard was true, there were many people to be able to help him. He shouted to them that helped me and then he was faint. When he woke up, he was in hospital without his right arm.

A brave man


One day, MASAYA went to rock mountain far from the village to looking for treasures. He had driven his car for 3 days. And stopped in front of the mountain, it was raining and he decided to take a rest. After that, he started climbing the mountain for a hour.

Suddenly, a big tiger attacked him and he dropped five meters before he did not move, because a huge rock held his right arm. He did not have something to eat and the pain in his arm was very strong. He was struggling to break free from a huge rock, but he couldn’t.
Then, he looked around, but he couldn’t find any one. He shouted for help many times. Soon, he felt maximum fatigue. He tried to use his cell phone, but it didn’t work. He was very disappointed. He stayed over at this situation. He was getting worse day by day. He felt thirsty and hunger. After 3 days, he thought that’s the end of my life. If I cut my arm, I can break this situation, he thought. And finally he cut his arm at his elbow by himself. He began to walk in the mountain and a man found him. MASAYA came back to his home.

I was surprised when I read this story. At first I couldn’t believe this story because I thought he must be die to bleed too much. But he is still alive. He chose to cut his arm off. In addition, he was in the bad condition. If he didn’t cut his arm off, his hunger must be reach worst and his fatigue too. If there is a bare possibility to live, he didn’t care about his arm. I think his choice was the best way!

If I was him, I would be shocked too much and cry all day long. I can’t stand to be alone. I think MASAYA is a man who has high courage. And I was impressed by him very much. I want call him “master of life”.

I read the story I was so surprised, because, I am also a climber. I knew the news three years ago. We met in the club lobby. I was surprised when I read this story. He is still alive. He has worked in the club. Denny is also my coach. I am very interest in about the story. “Why did you choose to cut your arm at this hard time?” I asked. In fact, during the time, only one opinion supported to me that is my family. Because, nobody knew I was climbing by myself. Denny said. He told that is a best way to help him to survival.
Nobody wants to meet the accident just like me. Denny said. I told to Denny “If I were you, I would be shocked too much and cried all day”. Denny has been a good climber in this club. Now, he teaches all of the skills and knowledge for us, because he can face his life and solve many problems. He is a great man. I proud of him.
