I was in Edisto beach running on an old wood dock. Not knowing that things were going to go bad fast. I hear the board snap and my sister starts screaming as if she was in a horror movie for mom. My knee was num as if it was a dead fish. I looked at me knee and knew my vacation was ruined. I got out of my car as I smelt the salty water‚ as the cool breeze hit me with the bright sun behind me.
