Stupid People Essay for Creative Writing
I found this
article off a website and it told of a young guy, teenager, and the
course of events that lead up to his broken leg and ankle. Apparently,
he and his friends were grilling from his friend’s third story
apartment balcony and upon realizing this wasn’t the brightest idea,
moved the grill to a nearby park. While at the park, he was caught off
guard with a sudden and painful bowel movement warning so he raced back
to the apartment. He blew into the bathroom, attended to his business
then flushed. As he was leaving, he heard the honk of his friend’s
truck out in front of the apartment building.
Sensing that they were a little anxious to get to the party, he decided he’d do them a favor. He figured that it would save a lot of time if he just hopped over the balcony and climb into the truck. He took a second to collect himself, bent his knees and then in a running gallop cleared the balcony with the grace of a track champion. The only problem with his brilliant plan was that the apartment was still three stories from the ground.
He did manage to land firmly onto both his legs regardless of the height but due to the substantial impact of plummeting three stories, he obliterated his left leg and severely fractured his ankle. He lay there on the ground a few feet from his friend’s truck on his back. One leg tucked neatly under his back and his right leg sporting a newly broken ankle handsomely bent to the wrong side.
He was immediately rushed to the hospital and a few hours later was seated outside the ER all bandaged up. So, to sum all of this up, his only intention of committing this daring stunt of pure idiocy was to save his friends time. But upon doing so, he cost them a few hours while he was fitted with a nice new cast and pin together what was left of his leg bones. Almost ironic, don’t you think?

I hate to tell on myself but.... One night, I was in a friend's 3rd story apartment. We were grilling food on the apartment balcony. We were smart enough to realize that this wasn't a safe action. We decided to go to the park to grill. I had to run to the toilet. After I wrapped up the business, I went and found that my friends were all in the truck ready to go. I decided to jump off of the balcony to get to the car quicker. I fell 3 stories and hit the concrete...a perrrfect cat-like landing on 2 feet. Too bad I broke my ankle and my leg. They rushed me to the hospital. I got fixed up with a cast and pain killers :). We returned to the park. I was on crutches and had to lay on my back and keep my leg elevated. They all teased me well into the night. After the party ended, everyone packed to leave. Everybody said BYE!! One of my friends yelled HEY MOE! We have to do this again sometime!! Yeah right.......
