despitemyidiocy

I fell over the railroad tracks, scraping my knees on the pebbles that where scattered on the other side. A bit of a bruise, nothing much. I could handle it, I was young and foolish. Off in the distance, I could hear the train screaming loudly. I'd heard of people playing 'chicken' and I thought to myself that maybe I'd play the game too, how long could I stay in front of the train?
