My story in 5 short chapters. …….
ONE..
I walk down the street, there is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost and helpless. It is not my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.
TWO..
I walk down the same street, there is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in again. I can’t believe I am in the same place, BUT it is not my fault. It still takes a long time get out.
THREE..
I walk down the same street, there is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in. It’s a habit. My eyes are open . I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
FOUR..
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
FIVE..
I walk down another street.
