Setback

climbing to top of ladder
--------leaning against eaves trough

putting paint can and old blanket onto the garage roof

ladder begins to slip
--------scraping sideways

grabbing rungs
--------sliding down

hitting ground on feet
--------right foot rolled over

there was a scream

sitting on porch
--------pain like a million tiny hammers

hammering back the bent ladder
--------climbing back up to finish job
