Great read! Man my ankles cringed at the initial kick, that must have been a bone shaker!

Thank you so much!

When I wrote that scene, I was reminded of when I jumped off my school's bleachers and landed *very* wrong. I didn't even feel the impact point because my whole leg stung at the bone level. It caught me so off guard too because it was only a couple feet high!

    Oh man, ouch. I don't have any 'land wrong' memories at that level but I partially tore a ligament in my knee once. That was -definitely- memorable.

      Oh man! I never pulled a ligament myself and I hope I can keep it that way. Pulled muscles are bad enough but they sort themselves out in a day or two.

        Yeah it was... disconcerting. Like you knew it hurt but it also -didn't- strictly speaking? It was like all the nerves in my knee turned to ice water and aside from landing on my bum, I really knew something wasn't right. It did get care and stuff but it also still makes a lot of noise on stairs, especially in colder weather.
