Well that hurt like f#$^

Went for a walk in the dark with a flashlight..walking on the sidewalk. Onlooker for a few seconds and it felt like the sidewalk collapsed. My head and chest were on the sidewalk and my left leg was below the sidewalk and I was falling. I was able to pull myself up. I was rolling on the sidewalk in extreme pain. I looked over and thee was a manhole. The cover was missing, nowhere to be found. My left leg stepped thru the hole. I have a huge lump on my shin. I need medical attention but I will wait until the morning. My entire body is in pain. I rolled on the sidewalk in extreme pain for several minutes. I was walking next to me on a busy highway. No one stopped. I was 30 feet away from a Krispy Kreme. People were standing outside. They looked at me. Then they continued their conversation. After about 10 minutes I limped home 1 mile away. The I am tough. And yes people suck

Why were you walking in the dark near a busy highway?

They may have assumed I was homeless?
