It had been a normal day, just like any other day
Until the outside air had suddenly turned ice cold
The wind grew quickly in strength
Building and building in power
This maybe, was my cue to go back inside
But I dismissed nature’s whispered warning
The accident was always waiting to happen
It’s red eyes watching me from a dark corner
It had been planning and scheming for some time
Biding it’s time for the right moment, the right conditions
To ensure that the pain would be memorable
A memorable day
Both feet were snatched from under me
In an instant, a blink of an evil eye
The fall was bone crunchingly hard
My breath was sucked away sharply
My mind raced to keep up with events
Then all was quiet
From the stillness something new crept in
A twisted howling, an inhuman noise
It ripped through the chill of the air
and pain like a fireball tore through my arm
Running through my blood now
Like it owned me
Pain became all that I knew, all that I was
Eating through to my core, consuming my thoughts
Trying to control me, to possess me
Then soft faint footsteps of hope
A familiar voice calling down
Lifting me up high
The heavens above grew dark , turbulent and angry
Shards of light sauntered down towards me
Touching my face with warmth and care
Then wrapping around me, holding me tight
Sending my tormentor back to whence it came
Holding me tightly
It wasn’t a day, like any other day
It was a day like no other day
