It was 12am on a crisp evening in Oklahoma.  I couldn't keep my eyes open.  I walked back towards the house to say goodbye to the 30+ people inside.  I approached the entryway.  They must have cleaned the glass door really well, because I never saw it coming.  The sound was like when a door slams into its jamb, but reverberates back-and-forth a few inches like an oversized tuning fork.  For a moment, time stood still.  
What's happening?  I thought to myself.  I was walking.  Now I'm not. Why does my nose hurt? Is it broken?
A perfect smudged outline of my lips, chin, and cheeks had been cast upon the glass.  I could taste a hint of blood on my lip.  I checked my nose and it wasn't broken.
My roommate swung the door open.  "Did you do that on purpose?" He asked.
The question didn't register.  I only saw my other roommate along with a dozen others in the hallway.  They were rolling.
"You really clean these windows good, out here in Oklahoma," is all I could come up with.
