Clouds drifting by

(Btw, this is nerthus from lj, ha!)Yikes, that sounds terrible! I fell down the concrete stairs between the bleacher seats in a school gym at age 10, caught my toe somehow and just went crashing from the top all the way down to the edge of the bleachers (which incidentally were high up off the court so if a man hadn't leaped up and caught me I would have rolled on off the edge and fallen quite a few feet down to the court on top of falling down the stairs!) Since the steps were concrete I was a black and blue mess for days and scraped up, and I badly sprained my ankle. I just remember the panicked feeling when I knew I was falling and out of control and felt like a rag doll with a rampaging heart beat flopping helplessly down the stairs.
