Today I was crossing a busy road towards the sidewalk. Thinking it was closer than it really was, I took a large step, but the curb was not there so I fell into my own momentum. I was so surprised I immediately yelped and continued to trip over my feet. It was as if the sidewalk had inched itself away from me just to see what would happen.
The event was a quick moment in time, but the embarrassment lasted many times longer. Nobody pointed out their car window and laughed nor did anyone approach me and say "Hey you! You drunk or something"?!, which caused me to think that they must have quietly pitied me from behind their tinted vehicular windows.
Most likely nobody noticed my clumsy mistake at all. For some reason that makes it seem all the more sad. :P
