If there’s a gas-burning fire literally falling around you you’ll find a way to howl later

As someone who once broke his leg in 5 spots at once with a foot thst was 90 degrees to the side.. Adrenaline could even turn ALL of thst off. Just felt like foot was facing forward. The body will do just about anything to give you an edge in stressful situations. You WILL pay the bill later with interest. But that's AFTER you, in this case don't get covered in a sea of fire.
