Childhood Experience
Do you have a permanent scar? Perhaps a birthmark or more of a rivalry wound? Well, I've heard of one where a friend was riding a bike and had his fingers sliced off by the spokes because he was attempting a bicycle trick. He said it was all right, because he had them sewn back on. Another story was where a friend banged his forehead on the corner of a surfboard and needed forty-four stitches. What about you? What have you heard? Well, on fine day, when I was living in Hawaii, I decided to latch on my roller blades and skate around the block. Now, this was the summer of '93 so, of course, we were out of school at the time. Anyways, as I was gliding down the circle, I stumbled upon my two cousins, Stephanie and Daisy. They had gotten a big, new, purple ball for no special occasion, so I just strolled up their driveway and sat on the doorstep out of exhaustion.

While I was chilling, he startled me by yelling a question, "Where's my video game?" The day before, I had let a friend borrow his game, so obviously he found out about it. As I was blading up and down the block, my bro and two cousins trapped me in an awkward position, so I looked for an opening, found one, and went for it. As soon as I hit, tears began dropping. With my luck, I under estimated my brother's capabilities and he used the net to hook the buckles on my skates. It broke diagonally from gun to corner. At that time, I felt nothing but anger towards my brother. In an instant, I fell flat, square on my face, like a ninety-degree angle changing to a folded line in the matter of tenths of a second.
