Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Chapter One: I walk down the street.There is a deep hole in the side walk.I fall in.I am lost... I am helplessIt isn't my fault.It takes me forever to find a way out.

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

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

Chapter Four: I walk down the same street.There is a deep hole in the side walk.I walk round it.

Chapter Five: I walk down a different street.
