When ever people come across a downfall in life, they remember God. This is true for sure because I did the same too at the time of the fall. But in my case this downfall is literally meant a fall.
January 26th 2010, as if I was isolated from the world, stayed all day in home. But as the day was almost ending my roomies proposed to go out for some Chinese dinner and we decided to go. Got ready to go and went down stairs to the vehicle. As we reached the ground floor I took the shortcut through the parking lot which turned out to be a long journey costing me thousands of medical bills and complimented with a week of bed rest, not to forget the horrible pain still going on.
What happened in that 40ft journey made me realize life is short and to live it by the minute. That day as I was walking through the parking lot in the darkness of the lightless night, I accidentally stepped on one corner of the slightly open dome of10ft deep water tank. What happened next was a matter of 20 seconds loss of memory recalled later.
When I recalled the instance, I could see the square dome raising and hitting me in the stomach then locking into my ribs as I was sliding into the tank. Subconsciously I took hold of the dome pushed against it to stop me falling into the tank. As a result of the heavy hit in the rib area I was struggling to breathe, luckily passers by noticed me and came to my rescue. They got me pulled me out not noticing the dome’s position. It rolled back and hit me again in the abdomen and nee. What were happened made me feel that only the present minute of time is yours so live it. Today I am still left with lots of blood colts in the stomach and abdomen area due to the internal bleeding caused by the hit.
