Yeah, I was at that game, the one where he broke his collarbone.
I dunno, people say he was trying to somersault onto the court at the start of the game, like Willy Wonka.
Yeah, remember in the movie, when he first appears to greet everyone outside the chocolate factory?
Right.
So he was supposedly trying something like that, but he didn't quite pull it off, landed right on his collarbone. The crunch was sickening. Echoed across the whole arena. I heard it clear as day and I was up in the nosebleeds. And that shriek.
Jesus Christ.
He lay there screaming on the court for damn near a full minute before anyone came to help. I think people thought it was part of the act. I knew it wasn't though. I could tell by his scream. I could see his eyes from where I was too, pure white, wide as saucer plates.
Shit.
Yeah, sometimes I still get nightmares from the memory of it.
Like, I'll see his face, close up though, and hear that terrible scream. I usually wake up in a cold sweat with the sound still reverberating in my mind.
