And You Thought You Had a Bad Day

Humorous filler piece in the form of a letter to an insurance company elaborating on the cause of a construction worker’s accident. The narrator’s attempt to lower 500 lbs of materials from a six-story roof using a pulley and barrel results in a cascade of injuries — fractured skull, broken collarbone, fractured ankles, cracked vertebrae — as he and the barrel repeatedly collide at the third floor.
