His sense of balance becomes considerably less adept than he remembers.
The dog whines.
He can delineate the sensation of falling, the sting of asphalt to cheek, gravity's unrelenting pull, the press of two surfaces aligning.
When he next bcomes fully cognizant, he places himself relative to his surroundings - sprawled unevenly over the ground, legs inanimate and refusing response to nerve signals as if stricken by some mass fucking crural axonotmesis. His back arches in counterpoint to the ground, teeth gritted against the agonizing lack of pressure or sensation in his lower body.
"I am perfectly fucking reasonable," Rush gasps into the floor. He levers himself onto his elbows, employing traction and friction in a slow, painful, unidirectional drag over concrete away from the uncooperative, profound source of his irritation.
