My eyes open.

I see a blue sky. Small ribbons of clouds. It's beautiful.

My arms are outstretched like a bird. But I can't move.

A plane passes over. My eyes don't follow. They water.

A blurred face appears. "It's OK son, stay still, there's an ambulance coming."

I wonder where my bike has gone.
