What a Concert!

Daniel is going home after a hectic night. He’s sore all over and limping because his big toe is all swollen. But it was worth it!

The concert was amazing. By the second song, the crowd was jumping up and down. Léo got carried away and stood on Daniel’s foot. Ouch! Daniel took a step back and slightly injured his ankle in the rush. But it’s nothing too serious!

While the band were playing his favourite song, Daniel suddenly felt his feet leaving the ground and unknown hands carried him right up to the stage. Incredible! Ok, now he’s got large bruises on his right calf and his elbows are all scratched; but the memories are intact.

Daniel drags himself back home. He has the feeling that his shoulder is dislocated. His thumb and little finger hurt. He broke a nail. But his neck is the thing that hurts the most: there is a blueish spot that is slowly turning purple. How did that get there? Daniel laughs to himself. Now, all he wants is to fall into bed and dream of the concert.
