And while laying spread-eagle on the ground we can comptempate the meaning of life and realize we should slow down and smell the roses. <br />hahhha.

But as I thought further, I saw how the juxtaposition between the reality of a short fall and the long-drawn-out "trip" made the piece work. Very funny/ironic.<br /><br />My piece is at http://furiousfictions.com.Joseph E.

And, I guess you were . . . until I got to the ending and saw that your character tripped over a mushroom. Then, I had to laugh.
