When I was a Junior in high school there used to be a long and wide set of
tubes that ran the length of the freeway where I live. To this day, I still
don't know what those tubes were used for. All I know is that they were
about a hundred feet long and almost twenty feet in diameter. It was a
meeting place for many of my friends and I as well as other students
that used to cut their classes.
On a hot winter morning, two of my friends and I were attending one of
our classes. We used to take Concert Choir together, which was a fun and
enjoyable class for everyone who participated in it. This day, our regular
professor had an emergency at home and we were stuck with an old and
boring substitute teacher. Well two of my buddies and I were so bored
that we decided to cut the class. We snuck out the back door quietly as
the class proceeded to sing a new song.
We ran for miles out onto the freeway where we later found the huge tubes.
But, in order to get there we had many obstacles to conquer. There was a
lot of mud, fallen trees, debris from the passing cars, and a huge metal gate
that was about seven feet high and ten feet wide. My two friends made it
through all of the obstacles and over the fence with no problems. I on the
other hand, was met with a huge problem. See, I was never good at climbing
fences when I was a kid. But, since I saw the two of them manage it I figured
that I could as well. I climbed up to the very top and stuck my right leg over
the fence. I searched around for the first opening that I could get my foot on.
I finally found it and proceeded to make my way down.
Well, as I brought my left leg around I accidentally slipped and got my front
part of my pants stuck on the barbed wire. I remember feeling very afraid
that I would fall but, my belt and pants held me up. I shouted out to my two
friends who were about thirty feet away. I finally got their attention and they
ran back to rescue me. As I hung there on the two spikes, gravity got the best
of me and my pants ripped sending me down about two feet. I remember
feeling very embarrassed as my friends laughed at me. They finally stopped
and somehow boosted me up high enough to unhook myself.
I fell down on top of them and we all started to laugh as we got a good look
at my pants. It was shredded down vertically like an old grizzly bear got a
hold of it. It was still very early in the day so we decided to continue on
with our journey. To this day we are still the best of friends and I am often
reminded of that day by them. LOL!

You are a splendid story writer, fine Sir.
