crack covered
Whenever I’m walking on the street or anywhere with cracks in the concrete. I have to step on every crack, if I miss one I have to go back and step on it. If I go home knowing I missed one. I feel wicked guilty. I feel like I will be cursed.

I have to avoid them all. Nothing to do with the silly rhymes lots of people seem to know – I didn’t hear any of those until years after I had begun avoiding the cracks. I actually fall over a lot of the time in an effort to avoid stepping on the cracks. And if, by some unlucky chance, I do step on one, I have to step on a different one with the same place on the other foot, and then they cancel out.
I do the same thing and when I was a kid I used to keep count on how many cracks I had stepped on, I’d even jump to step on the next one if needed but if for some reason I couldn’t find one within reach then I would deduct however many steps I had to take to the next crack.
I did the opposite. I tried to avoid all the cracks because my feet wouldn’t feel right stepping on the cracks.
No no no! I can’t step on cracks at all. Or shadows or anything that makes a line across where I’m walking. Nothing to do with breaking my mothers back… I just can’t.
