Bloody Toilet

This is a pretty scary incident that happened just one week ago. On Saturday evening, my family and I paid a visit to my uncle’s house. We had an absolutely delicious and tantalising dinner of err… Pizza Hut. After that my parents and my uncle and aunt as well as my maternal grandparents sat in the living room and discussed some major political issues in Singapore as well as about their standard of living while watching television. Me and my cousin played games on his Xbox games console. We played Halo 3 and the graphics were fantastic and sharp. My cousin and I had a really great time blasting aliens and humans alike in the multiplayer mode. In fact, we had such a wonderful time that our eyes were almost super glued to the screen. We were oblivious to our surroundings until suddenly, a scream erupted from the bathroom. We immediately stopped playing and rushed to the bathroom to see what had happened. There was bright, crimson blood everywhere. My uncle had fallen onto the floor, clutching his wrist tightly. I could see blood trickling out of it. My mother heard the scream too and immediately rushed to the scene. Quick thinking as she was, she immediately grabbed a towel hanging off a ring on the wall and wrapped it tightly around my uncle’s bleeding wrist, applying pressure on it so as to stop the bleeding. An ambulanced was called, where paramedics quickly applied a pressure bandage. My uncle was laid on a stretcher and my father followed him all the way to the hospital. Later, I learned that my uncle as somehow managed to cut his artery on the toilet seat. I am glad to say that my uncle has made a fantastic recovery so far. It was really frightening seeing all the blood on the floor. I almost thought that my uncle was going to die.
