You’re disoriented. You can’t tell which way is up. You’ve lost your footing, that’s why you fell in the first place. You came upon something unexpected. Unforeseen. Like uneven pavement. Or like a child on a bike coming at you. Something foreseeable but unavoidable.
Whack.
It hits you.
You fall.
You get up, but nothing is the same. You regain your balance, but it’s as if you’re on an uneven keel. You walk around like your shoes have marbles. Like you’ve lost your marbles.
Once you’ve fallen, you can never fully recover.
