A fatal accident occurred involving an American women, 25 y/o.
Wheezing intensively and gasping for air, she collapsed while grasping the shirt collar of an older Japanese hiker.
She whelped, whispering only a few demands in her last couple minutes of life, a veggie burger from Harvey's, the sweet and sour veggie chicken stir-fry from the Grasshopper, and one of those cute watermelon popsicles they sell at 7-11.
She was confirmed dead, outside the 7-11 after having escaped from hospital moments earlier.
I LOL'd.
Yokai!
Presumably yelped rather than whelped?
Since you failed to mention any puppies.
Is this the park where everyone goes to kill themselves?
I'm so glad you listened to your body and stopped when you did!
