Times Square fall

Now if 1 could just get the celedon into bird form. Unfortunately, she wasn't cooperating.
She spun hard, breaking my grip and shoving me over the side of the bu ilding.
I tried not to panic. Sadly, this wasn’t the first time Id been thrown off a skyscraper.
I'd like to tell you that I did some cool acro¬ batic move, grabbed the edge of a billboard, and vaulted back up to the roof in a perfect triple flip.
Nope. As I bounced off the first Jumbotron screen, a metal strut somehow snagged my belt and stopped me from falling. It also gave me the ultimate wedgie of all time. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, my momentum spun me upside down and 1 peeled right out of my pants.
I plummeted headfirst toward l imes Square, grabbing wildly for anything to slow me down. Luckily, the top of the next billboard had a rung across it, maybe for extremely brave mainte¬ nance workers to latch their harnesses onto,
I managed to catch it and flipped right side up. My arms were nearly yanked out of their sockets, but somehow T kept my grip. And that’s how I ended up hanging From a billboard over Times Square without my pants.
