learn Spanish they said

High voltage man kisses night to bring the light to those who need to hide their shadow-deed hide their shadow-deed
Seek electricity...........


Despite the years the sleepy reason and the passing time I am continuing my pursuit of knowledge in another idiom. Just trying to trying to trying to get it together. So. friday and my lesson somewhere near a place I know on a wet miserable morning I was entering the place of learning with my big tartan brolly which still does nothing for my feet shoes and lower trousers. Anyway, wet, and obviously miserable, I rang the bell and turned to await the buzzer releasing the metal gate when suddenly---I mean very suddenly-- my body shook spasmed jolted and... I don´t know what.. it just all went jolty.. My elbows kind of spazzed to my body and my brolly was stuck to the gate. I must have detached myself from the brolly- para-agua in Spanish I think... Then I feared for it --it´s just new! -- and I went to save it. I realised then what was happening. I was being electrocuted.
My brolly pointy tip had come into contact with overhead cable and sent it´s power through my body. I pulled at my brolly and managed to release it from the grip of the gate and composed myself before beginning my morning class. Alive.
