A Slump on the Steps

My neck suddenly unhitched, heavy as a bowling ball, tumbling forward until my chin tapped my chest. I blinked against a harsh bar of amber light slicing across the concrete step. My toes actually bent! To verify this ridiculous turn of events, I kicked my left heel straight into the green painted handrail. Clang. It sent a nasty vibration up my leg. Okay, fantastic, I'm stuck here with full sensory awareness and a bruised foot.
