text: Shelly: Bt I don't have a story to tell. 
  Ricky: Sure u do!
  Tom: Yeah! There must have been a near-death experience in ur life ;)
  Shelly: I don't wanna talk about it. 
  Ricky: All right. We'll stop making fun of u. Will that help?
  Tom: Promise.
  Shelly: Fine. It was just b4 Xmas. 
  Ricky: So a snow storm?
  Shelly: Guessed it. I was doing some Xmas shopping. Presents and stuff. 
  Tom: Last yr?
  Shelly: No, 3 or 4 yrs back. And everything was fine until I came out of the shop. It was snowing so heavily I couldn't see a thing. Suddenly I felt someone pull my bag.
  Ricky: Geez! The ppl!
  Tom: I know!
  Shelly: Turned out I caught on something and everything fell out of my bag. Snow falling, a real blizzard. Started picking up things, but lost some of them. And someone trod on my presents.
  Ricky: Did u at least manage to get a taxi home?
  Shelly: Not a chance. Went by subway. The only thing that wasn't impacted by the storm.
  Tom: But u managed to find everything and didn't lose a thing?
  Shelly: Fortunately, yes.
target: Shelly experienced a heavy snow storm just before Christmas, 3 or 4 years ago. Someone pulled her bag, walked over her presents and she started picking things up. She went home by the subway and fortunately didn't lose anything.
