Of course, I accepted my friend’s little dare and climbed into the tree, focusing on the seven-foot-deep drop-off off of the bank. Regrettably, I didn’t jump far enough. My right leg landed in the drop-off, but my left leg hit the clay, which caused all of my weight to shift to my left foot. I felt an immense pain in my ankle and started screaming while crawling over to the bank as Dalton ran to get my mom. After I finally made it to the emergency room, I found that I had broken my fibula at an upward slant, which caused the upper part of the bone to slam down into my ankle.I had completely blown out every ligament and tendon on the left side of my ankle.

Apparently he’d been in a car accident as a very young child, and this was the doctors’ best attempt at damage

It had been twelve days since the accident, and with every minute that had passes Jordan thinks he’s getting closer to losing his mind.

The volcanic, scorching oil slowly ate the flesh off my father’s skin as I watched immobilized, unable to conceal the permanent inflamed scar on his right forearm. Without a screech, he absorbed the trauma, swallowed the pain, and continued frying the chicken wings for his upcoming customer.

Thunder began and Brian was so startled that he slid among the muddy hill. Brian fell down with his bike and rolled down the hill for what seemed like forever. He hit his knee on a rock and finally ended up at the bottom of the hill where the woods were. He laid there with small bloody cuts on his face from the sticks he rolled on. Brian opened his eyes and was still trying to process what just happened. He felt pain on his knee and saw that blood was on his baseball pants. Brian rolled up his pants and saw a long gash on his knee. He slowly got up and was grunting from the pain. Brian was too weak to grab a towel from his red baseball bag that was on top of the hill.
