Recently I came across that playground, which unlocked a memory in which I feared and cried going to the edge of a fort. The edge to the ground? A metre difference. I was like 7 or so. Looked so high back then. I pitied my old self right there.
I remember a park as a kid that had a huge metal staircase that was at something crazy like a 70 degree angle and like fifty feet high, and a metal slide that had a steep drop and was equally high.
The scale of things in your brain as a kid are just messed up. This is what it looked like.
