wake up in hell

One year we got some old railroad ties for firewood. Johnny and I sawed ties all winter. One time he look at me and said we will wake up in hell sawing ties.
Another time Bud and I took Eva in the old Buick and went up in the wood to get some firewood. We had a trailer on the back and loaded it down. When we started down the hill, the load on the trailer was too heavy for the brakes to hold and we slid off the road down into a ditch.
It was Both Eva and I to stay in the car or walk home and get help. We walked home, it was getting dark. Talk about spooky, cows all around us, and funny noises. But on the way home I run into an old saw mill that had slabs of wood, so from then on we got our firewood from there.
