I Have Been Injured
16 years old. Working at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Closing the park on Friday night. It's a short 20 minute bike ride back home but long enough at 10:50pm.
I take a shortcut throug a college campus pedaling as fast as I can. Riding down a sidewalk I hear the rustling of leaves behind me. I take a glance over my shoulder.
"Hmm...musta been nothing" - I look back and suddenly see two posts with a chain across.
"Holy s**t this is gonna hurt"
I do the superman over the handlebars. I don't remember hitting the ground.
I wake up with a pounding headache and for some reason my head is wet and crusty.
"Why is my head wet?...there aren't any puddles around"
I realize it's blood. "Wtf?"
I look at my watch...12:15am. I'm feeling weak and dizzy, but start wondering aimlessly around the campus in a daze looking for help.
Just by chance I stumble into an open door that has a few older men in coveralls on a coffee break sitting around a table
One of the men take a glance at me and says, "Son...you look like you're in a world of hurt. You need to go to the hospital"
It took a few times but I remembered the house number and my dad answered, showed up and drove me to the hospital.
I ended up having a cuncussion and six stitches in my head :-)
