Not Knowing What Hits You
One of the many misfortunes I have run into as a child, there were a number of incident that I could say are indeed unforgettable.
There was this incident that I was running as fast as I could in order to avoid being the “it” in a game of tag. In order to lose the one running after me, I decided to out maneuver my playmate by running through some obstacles. Sadly, I failed to notice that there was a wood beam crossing between the posts I decided to run in between. Bam! It hit me right in to my nose. It was so painful and swollen that I thought I’ll need a nose job in Baltimore to fix any broken cartilage.
I went home to my aunt and she immediately applied a cold compress to ease down the swollenness. She asked me what the hell happened but I couldn’t actually explain the incident clearly. I don’t know what exactly hit me.
