....Growing up I'd always been lucky. When it seemed like almost every kid slipped their legs into the spaces between the slabs that covered the gutters I never did, even though I skipped along the slabs everyday from school. When the kids in my neighborhood found some mysterious plant which they claimed had a striking similarity to ground nuts pushing them to ingest it and causing near pandemonium because they all started vomiting blood later that night I was the only child not involved. When pink eye popularly called Apollo went through my entire school like a breeze affecting both teachers and students alike I was never affected even though my bed mate at the time had it and slept mere inches from my face every day. I never stepped on broken glass or rusted nail growing up, I never had chicken pox or measles, I was always lucky but now as I half listened to the doctor explain to my mom the complications that came with this new development it sounded alien to me. I wanted to laugh, I reigned myself obviously but the thought lingerered well enough to cause slight twitching at the sides of my mouth... The struggle (in this case not to laugh) was real. Suddenly I had a bright moment of epiphany, maybe my luck had run out, I had worn the reserve thin and I couldn't miraculously escape this particular episode. As ludicrous as it sounded in my head it was all I had. When all logic failed one could only grasp unto thin draws of mania in hopes of being grounded in reality.
