Going Backwards

I threw a stone, I threw it really far, it just soared into the air.

I watched it shrink as it swam straight ahead into the sky.

What a throw.

It disappeared onto the horizon. I stared, quite amazed.

That's got to be an Olympic size throw, that one.

I threw a stone, I threw it really far, it just soared into the air.

I watched it shrink as it swam straight ahead into the sky;

Only to find that it hit me in the back of the head.
