I dropped it.  All of it.  It splattered across the floor in a delusion of self-preservation and then crawled into the man at my right.  It leaked out my eyes and left stains on the palms of my hands.  It tripped up my feet and bruised my knees.  When I called out, it hung in the air between my gasps, flying and floating up, up, and up.
