[i]"What the hell... he's... rotted... decomposing..."[/i] Thankfully for me, I no longer had my back to the church door. However, I had forgotten about the stone steps that I had climbed to reach the church door. When I stepped backwards, to try and dodge the man's punch, my foot was met with empty air. Not expecting this, I stepped further than I had intended, stepped on the edge of the step, lost my balance, and fell to the bottom of the stairs. It wasn't a very high drop, however the stone beneath me certainly didn't feel pleasant as I smacked against it. A sharp pain then a dull ache flowed through my back.

I quickly regained my bearings, grabbed the pocket knife from my pocket, stood up, and flicked it open. "G-Get back, I'm warning you, I'm not afraid to use this!" I had the definite feeling that I should not let this man touch me. He probably wants me dead or seriously injured by the way that he's acting.
