As soon as it was over I felt myself on the ground and looked forward thinking my friends were further ahead because of the time lapse. In fact, the person running next to me still right next to me and the wagon and friends were only a couple of steps ahead. It was almost as if the looking down part never fit in there in the time it felt like it did. I was surprised and just stood up very confused. I looked over at my parents who were outside talking to neighbors to see if they witnessed what I did and they noticed nothing other than myself tripping and falling. I didn't hit my head or anything like that, I simply fell to my hands and knees. I remember telling my friends about it and I think they thought I was crazy. I clearly remember this because it frightened me as such a strange thing! What does this mean?
