[Halcyon]

When I was younger I was trying my rollerblades out and thought I was ready for the hill that had a good downwards slope. Although there was one slight problem, I didnt know how to stop and ahead was a busy main road.
I was gathering speed and trying to keep my balance and felt like I was going to flip over and end up in hospital. Finally I saw a lamp post and just stretched out. Managed to cling on and slam into it but it could have been a lot worse. I was glad to have stopped.
