>crack is followed by the crashing sound of something falling
>something is a giant tree
>falling towards my bro
>try to warn him but it's too late, the tree is on top of him
>race over to help
>he's trapped underneath, the tree is on his chest, he can't breathe, he's choking to death
>try to lift the tree, put everything I have into it, it won't budge
>soon he's not breathing anymore
>watch the life fade from his eyes
>doctors later say he would have died anyway
>can't shake the feeling I could have saved him
>3 years later I can still see his face
>every time I deadlift, I imagine I'm lifting that tree off him
>for that one brief moment, the pain goes away
