Collar Bone
by Avary
I remember when I broke my collarbone
three years ago. It felt terrible, like snapping
a pencil. I cried when it happened. My sister
and cousin helped me and walked me home.
I remember my mom staying home and
taking me to the ER. I called it “The E.Rawr”
because it made me feel scared.
