So, today's 50 Word Challenge story is personal. It's real and autobiographical. I hope you enjoy.

_**Gone are the Days**_

_**POP!** The knee just gave out and I was lying on the floor. Thudding lances of fire shot through the knee._

_I shook my head, chuckling. ‘Well, there go my Basketball playing days I guess.’_

_Then again, my only plus was great reflexes. I never played on a team anyway._

Thank you for reading my super-short story... all events are my own @OriginalWorks and are autobiographical. I, even now, have ACL damage in both knees (the other knee popped in a touch football game where someone decided to pick me up and throw me to the side).

I hope you can appreciate it.
