I don’t know which year it was, but in that year, I do remember my feet were hurt at least two or three times. One day, after work, while I was walking to my home, I was thinking something seriously. I walked so quickly and seriously that I was not aware of the things around me at all. Suddenly, I felt my body was not in control and flew forward immediately just like I was thrown by someone else. I could realise that my body stopped in air for about one second before I dropped down on the ground just same as the slow action in the movies. I wanted to get up, but I failed. My legs were hurt so much that I could not move them at all, but had to hold on the ground. One girl stopped in front of me and tried to help me to get up, but I still failed. After a very long time, I moved my legs and raised my body slowly. My stockings were damaged, my knee was full of blood and my feet were also hurt, so I had to walk slowly to home like a snail by relying on the wall.
