The Walker

On the last Sunday afternoon preview show (last week), the show started with a bang. I'm the first person to run out on stage. My part is to run around and play the game Kick the Can on stage. The other boy and I enter from stage left from where the audience sits. That day, an audience member put their walker where I was supposed to run out. The walker was black and it was very dark. I didn't see it but I felt it. I crashed into it as I was running on stage and it made a huge noise. I flipped into and fell. The show must go on so I had to get up and keep going. When I came off stage, Hanna of backstage management handed me an ice pack for my leg. Mr. McSweeny, the director, asked if I was OK. I've learned to look out for obstacles where I don't expect them.
