Narrow Escape

14 May 2014, around 7.30 pm. I escaped serious injury. Minutes earlier, I was seated on the chair. I stood up, picked up the glass of orange juice, and was drinking. Suddenly the tower of heavy boxes behind me came crashing down, with a loud crash, boom, bang. Narrowly missing me. It crash landed inches to my left. The impact of the crash caused items on top of the boxes to land nicely on the table. The impact also caused the first box to rip. Had I not stood up, my back would have snapped from the mass of falling heavy boxes and I would have been hospitalised as a result. I am indeed a lucky girl.
