The Horror

I remember being young, I'm not sure how old I was, but I was so excited and I think it was my birthday. It was sunny and I was riding my bike so happy like it was harmonious. Then the taste of metal and it turned black. I was getting up off the ground to discover I had a bloody nose. I had crashed my new bike into a parked car. I can laugh now, but it wasn't funny at the time. That was the beginning of my bloody nose horror. You see, I am still unsure why, but I frequently got bloody noses. I don't get worried when it happens anymore. I just pinch my nose for 20 minutes and then it's gone.
