Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Chapter 1

I walk down the street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I fall in.I am lost ... I am helpless.It isn't my fault.It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2

I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I pretend I don't see it.I fall in again.I can't believe I am in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3

I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I see it is there.I still fall in ... it's a habit.My eyes are open.I know where I am.It is my fault.I get out immediately.

Chapter 4

I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.I walk around it.

Chapter 5

I walk down another street.
