A Terrifying Fall
When I was eight or nine years old, I woke up one morning while I was in the middle of falling out of my bunk bed. I landed on my back on the linoleum floor. I had the wind completely knocked out of me. I legitimately thought I was dying.
I remember running to my parents’ room, and neither of them were there. My dad was laying on the couch and I just remember laying with him until I was able to breathe again. I had bruised my back and walked with a limp for two weeks. It was terrifying. Story credit: Reddit/blizzaga1988
