I have a scar on my knee from where a glass bottle exploded and shattered on it. It is actually more than one scar, but it is all from one incident.
I got this scar back in my teen-aged runaways days when I was running away “Out West” with a guy I later had to runaway from. I was 16 that summer, and he was 23. We were in a car he stole at a lake I wanted to see.
We were about 1000 miles into a 2000 mile trip and on a detour to see said lake. It is one of the biggest lakes in the country and I’m still not sure why it held me in its thrall.
But there were were, hundreds of miles off track from our ultimate destination, and he was not happy with my lake. We was some beer, like always, and I walked off a bit with one of them to sit on a rock and look at what I came to see.
No one else was there, it was freezing, and my idea of a swim was not going to happen.
He was behind me some distance, and threw his empty beer bottle at me. He later said he thought is would crash on the rocky beach near me, but instead I had a big pain and sound and surprise.
I has jeans on and all of the sudden, this pant leg was soaking in blood. Lots of blood like a horror movie. Lots of pain. I did not even know what happened. Glass everywhere. The bleeding would not stop and the pain kept getting more.
For some reason my jeans were not ripped at all.
Of course this was my fault as was everything else on this trip. The bleeding went on and off for days. My knee swelled up to twice its size, it hurt like hell, and I limped for weeks and weeks.
A couple of months and 1000 miles later, the doughnut shop I ran into for help in the middle of the night was the best place I ever was on that trip.
