Fingertip Fall

Sophie MacLeod

It was just another normal day after school. Kelsey, my friend, and I were cycling around Durness. We were cycling down to Sango (the beach) and I was giving Kelsey a backie down a hill when I turned the corner to park my bike on the grass. I got off my bike, before Kelsey, and my bike lost balance. The bike, with her on the back fell on top of me. With the bike and Kelsey's weight on my finger caught on a piece of barbed wire and the sharp end dug into my finger, resulting in a bit of my finger stuck to the piece of barbed wire on the fence. OUCH! We both ran inside to the pub next to us (The Oasis) to get a plaster and since then I haven't given Kelsey a backie since ....
