Confessing in 100 Words

 I am SO sorry. I thought, planned, dreamed, waited, figured on it. I was ready, sprang, pounced. I was prepared, defiant, steadfast, justified. And when I thought, counted on, waited for that something inside me that would pull me back, laugh at me, and let me know the chicken I am.... It failed, exploded, disintegrated, obliterated, was lost in translation; elation. The words slipped out, the meaning was lost, the crowd cheered, and I broke something that hadn't been dropped before. Not cracked or chiseled, chewed or chunked. It was so perfectly whole, solid, complete...

And we fixed that.
