…...BAD…..
I ran in a circle,
around the edge of the trampoline,
I kick out a leg and rotate backwards,
like a backflip.

I land on my knees,
so close.
one more time,
I say.

I take a deep breath,
I let it out,
and I run,
once more,
around the edge,
I kick out a foot,
I start to rotate,
it was a bad flip,
a bad one.

My body naturally tries to stop.
Immediately after takeoff,
I land on my neck,
chin on my chest.

It’s all fine,
then the pain kicked in.
All I could do was let out a long groan,
uuuuunh…
My friend stood over me,
and he looked horrified.
I could barely breathe,
my chest ached
I think I bruised it...
my sternum,
it hurt,
really,
bad...

It was a memory of pain, so my memory was very vivid. It had happened recently.
