A stub in the dark
You’re walking in the dark and you hit your toe on something that wasn’t there. It’s like your foot got a personal attack from the universe.
I stubbed my toe on a brick in the dark. It was like my foot got a personal attack from the universe.
I walked in the dark and my toe got a personal attack from a chair. It was very mean.
I tripped in the dark and my toe got a personal attack from a stack of plates. The plates were the villains.
