He punched me as I closed in

I was watching this video about the Queen’s Guard in London. If you don’t know, they tell you ahead of time that if you are in the way, they are just going to walk on top of you. In the video the guard rolls over the top of some kid.

This happened to me. The guy stepped over a kid and yelled “Make Way!” I thought he said “Milky Way!” and that they were giving out free chocolate bars. I ran up to him to get a Milky Way because I didn’t have time for lunch. He punched me as I closed in and I flew all the way to Big Ben. My belt caught the hour hand and I hung there until the hour hand turned down and I slipped off onto a horse-drawn carriage. Some people below nearby said I was a God dropping from heaven and the new crews from BBC put me on worldwide TV. I still didn’t get a Milky Way.
