A stub in the dark
Walking in the dark and stubbing your toe on something that wasn’t supposed to be there is like your foot got a slap from the universe.
I stubbed my toe on a brick in the dark. It was like my foot got a slap from the universe.
I walked in the dark and my toe got a slap from a chair. It was brutal.
I tripped in the dark and my toe got a slap from a stack of plates. The plates were mean.
