I teetered with one foot on the stairs, dangerously close to falling head over ass down the flight of stairs. My arms flailed wildly in the air as I desperately searched for something to hold onto, only to grab and miss the rail. All the while, my eyes, wide with horror, were transfixed on the man who stood frozen on the stairs, watching me in equal surprise and horror. Then mercifully, he seemed to snap out of his shock just as I fell over, and moved quickly.
