"Eh by the way abang who is going?"

I heard the names but I didn't quite catch one.

"Sorry?"
"Sarah."
"Huh? Sarah?"
"Sarah lah."
"Uhh Jane arh?"
"No lah Yong."

I can't help it but everytime I think of her I think of the very first time I screwed up with after learning some pretty impressive stuff. A lot better than the main stuff I use these days.

But thats not I remember mostly.

I'm running on the edge of a pool.

My jeans are wet.

My feet are bare.

I'm shirtless.

I'm focused on the palm tree ahead of me.

Then I remember a record of a foreseen conclusion about running along poolsides seems oddly familiar.

I focus on the palm tree in the distance and the deck chair.

The palm tree goes from vertical to horizontal. The deck chair goes from horizontal to vertical.

I think of how gravity is 9.81. I think of how tall I am. I think of how near I am to the pool edge.

I think of how I'm most likely about to die or snap my neck.

Oddly I don't think of anything that I've left behind. I don't even think of my life so far.

*BAM*

I hit the ground. And everything is dark.

I roll into a recovery position.

I just clutch my head. Repeating it mentally heavily again and again. "Don't pass out. Don't pass out. Don't pass out..."

However verbally all that came out was "shit shit shit shit shit...."

When the ringing stops. I hear her voice.

"Are you alright?"

I open them and I see her leaning over me.

I run a check of everything adjusting jaw and licking teeth to see if it's all there.

I don't move for awhile as everything is still wobbling from the shock and the blow.

Everyone is quiet and staring. My bud is telling everyone to clear off and give space. Good old Sarah. Arriving first and knowing what is necessary. But nevertheless ignoring necessity.

I just don't move I stop swearing and there's a blink blink moment right there as I wonder who is this fellow staring at me.

I try to avoid the records in my head. Violent sloshing and backtracking together could be very dangerous when you're not sure if you have all your mental faculties with you.

I get up and look around seeing some flesh and blood on the ground. I check my hands and my body.

"Where am I bleeding?"

Living miracle. Even more so since that day eh?
