history: One time me and some friends ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. I really thought we were totally screwed but we managed to get out fine. Me and my friends ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere one time. It was scary. Oh my_comma_ how did you manage to get out of that situation? Did you hitch a ride?
current: We walked to a gas station that was luckily pretty close by. 
next: Phew! Good have ended a lot worse if that gas station wasn't there.
