On a perfect Tuesday morning, as I was stepping outside of my nyc apartment, I see some construction workers lowering a wooded walkway across the main entrance. The walkway didn't seem too stable, and I decided to leap over it! There were no warning signs, only woahs and yelps as I was up in the air; when I realized what had happened, gravity had already took hold of the situation.

As I landed, all the screams and yelps commenced to defeated sighs. My foot sank shin-deep into fresh cement.

Not expecting this shock I began loosing balance, and tried getting out of the trenches by quickly moving forward. Taking another step, I made another imprint right in front of me, but without thinking kept walking forward to get out.

The construction men slapped their foreheads and shook their heads with disbelief.

Finally, I made it out on safe grounds, and went to the first fire hose I saw to meticulously wash off my feet and sandals.

True story!
