today i tripped on acid.

yeah...today i tripped on acid.
it was an accident.
and it was my first and LAST time.

so here's the story.

I'm at our church's new building..which is under construction..and in need of a ladder.
I'm already frazzled...as usual..because I've been running late..and feel like i haven't gotten any work done...so I'm rushing to get all of the tools I need to finish painting one of the rooms.
Running, I round the corner of the hallway at the exact time a worker has covered the floor in glue eating acid and has gone to find caution cones so the 'idiots' like me don't walk through it.

So immediatly my feet fly from underneath me and I slide for a few feet and roll. Completely naive of this clear flesh eating liquid's power I slowly stand up and start walking towards the bathroom. And the man who has already had contact with the acid and has spent the past 2 weeks putting it on the floor acts like it's no big deal that it is lathered all over my body, so of course I'm in no hurry to wash it off before it seeps into my skin. Seconds later, I begin to feel an intense tingling of the flesh...and a quick flash of Anakin Skywalker's face boiling off comes to mind..and I.FREAK.OUT.
Screaming for someone to go get my aunt...who is for some reason without fail ALWAYS present when I'm in need of random medical attention, I sprint to the bathroom and turn sinks on...notice i said sinks...plural...why? we're not sure...we only needed one. My Aunt is there in a flash scrubbing the pain off and i'm focusing to keep myself conscieous....and slowly realizing i still have my flesh...and everything is going to be ok.
And that is how a normal day in the life of michaele maddox...begins.
