You're always seconds away from death. Just take another breath to reset the clock.
It is best to approach all idioms literally
If you ride in a car on a highway you are seconds away. If you count your days and weeks and years in seconds, you are seconds away
Haha! Fooled you! I was already in the shower, with a chainsaw! So there!
Better title would have been:
Someone out there is reading this while taking a shit instead of working!

you can measure all time in seconds.....
I realized it all 24 times.
I already know of a couple occasions where I was close to dying. Once at 5 I split my head open and had to go to hospital for stitches, I had a tea towel held to my head to stem the flow of blood. The second time was three years ago when I was admitted to hospital because of a flare of Ulcerative Colitis (IBD, Crohn's disease is the other type) and I lost so much blood over the months I had the flare that I had to get a transfusion and iron infusion.
