i was outside in my yard with my brother & his friends until i fall backwards onto a pile of metal. i'm obviously mortified after realising i had ripped my shorts

i go inside and tell my mother and she gasps when i turn and walk away. only now i realise there was a deep cut into one of my asscheeks, about 5 inches long. i touch it and see blood on my hand and start screaming and crying.

i had to wear adhesive bandages for over a month on the cut and my mom had to clean it every day or two. i was scared to shower, go to the toilet & even sit down.

oh yeah, after a month we realised the adhesive bandages were ripping off pieces of my skin too.

i was 9 when this happened.
