Stumble & Fall

Of all the things I hated most is getting a scratch on my skin, any part of my skin for that matter. God knows how I take care of my skin ... Vanity. Today on my way to work I suffered a bad fall in the parking lot in front of our building. I tripped on the chain placed to prevent others from using the parking lot. I got bruised knees that it almost scrapped my epidermis. I casually got up, walked away and pretended it was not a bad fall after all but when I was alone along the corridor and no one could see me, all can do was a soundless scream of pain that I got misty eyed and limped my way up to the third floor. I could stand the pain, what worries me the most is the mark it will leave on my knees...

Lesson learned: don't walk with your nose up in the air.
