"Multiple lacerations, possible dislocated index finger, although until you let go of that barrel stave I can't tell for sure."
Dean released the strip of wood. Dripping, and now clutching his right hand to his chest, he was a little out of it.
"What happened?"
"Maybe add concussion. Okay. Charles Stevens, haunting the Falls since 1920. Looking for the rest of his body after only his arm was found. He jumped you and took you with him on this year's dive."
"I just went over Niagara Falls in a barrel?!"
"I rock!"
"Yeah. It was thrilling for me too."
Notes:
Hope you are feeling better Onyx and staved off the illness!
Charles Stevens, from Cornwall (in south west Britain) did indeed throw himself off the Falls in a barrel in 1920, and only his arm was found.
Thanks to SN, I have actually visited Niagara Falls with two other SN fans and it is a fabulous sight! (Also a bucket list tick for me!) :-)
