Begin with the first. I was at the top of the stairs with Ronan. I said something like, “Come on, buddy, let’s go down…” I felt my foot slip. My heel, too close to the edge of the step, didn’t grip. The world fell out from under me, and I was falling, arms thrown akimbo trying to grasp something, anything…. Read More
History of Me: Part Fourteen
Part One. I worked the rest of the week, feeling tender and uncomfortable.
