The Night Fall

Day 1 - The fall · 1 of 1

17th March 2024, me and my friends are very comfortably sitting on the sofa discussing random things when one of us brings forward their crave for McDonald's Oreo Ice Cream. We head out to Seasons Mall nearby and find out that they have run out of Oreo Ice Cream specifically. We don't give up , right in front of Seasons mall is Amanora Mall and they have McD there as well, but alas we don't find it there either. It's around 10 and we start heading back towards Seasons mall..

A little back story here, we had recently confirmed the tickets and bookings for our annual trip to Kasol during winters.

The trip required for us to buy some gear and shoes for trekking,

Now coming back to present, we are walking back and we see Decathlon open so we rush inside to just window shop what all we might need. We see some stuff roam around and the staff announces "We are closing now, please wrap up your shopping", we start moving towards the exit and that's when I see my friends trying out skateboard, which they were miserably failing to ride. I come in and proclaim "Let me show you how it's done".

I take my first step place it on the skateboard, then lift the second one and the moment I lift it off the ground, the skateboard slips away and I fall, it did not look like a brutal fall, but the damage had been done, I felt my left elbow giving away.

One life. Many stories.
