When was the last time you fell?

They say that when you're at the bottom, you can only go one way. I beg to differ. It is entirely possible to slide along the bottom for quite awhile. I don't reccomend it, but it is possible.
I know this because I've spent so much time at the bottom, sliding around. I even retrace ground I've gone over a million times in order to prove to myself that nothing's changed. It is exactly as I left it. Only I must be revisiting this because I have not learned what I came to learn. Or maybe I miss it. After all, there is security in the devil you know.

I was thinking about a new direction in which to slide (specifically out of the bar and into bed) when I heard the taunting voice making fun of my beer. Never seen a girl drink a Red Stripe. What's the matter with him? I played along, grateful for distraction. He surprised me, asking me to dinner. This one had manners, so I agreed, and walked precipitiously close to the edge of a giant cliff.
