April 27 2007 (Yahoo! News) -- A 4-year-old boy broke his leg after he jumped out of a second-floor window while trying to imitate a character from his favorite movie Wednesday night. Gustavo Osario was alone in his bedroom at his home on Cedar Creek Place when he tried to fly out of the window. He said he got the idea from watching his favorite movie, "The Little Vampire."

Osario's father said his son watched the movie last week and told him he wanted to fly like the main character, but his father didn't believe him. He said he arrived home and found his son curled up in the driveway.

Osario was taken to the hospital and treated for a broken leg. He was using a walker to move around his home.

Tired

It's too soon
I'm so tired
leave me be.
its too late
I'm exausted
let me sleep
now I can't
sleep
I'm so tired
but I can't
sleep
I'm staring
at the wall
willing the
sleep to
come but
stuck on
this side
of that wall
on this side
without
dreams and a
nice soft
oblivion to
fall into
sleep
I'm so tired

The Bridge

Perhaps the most iconic image from Legend is the ravaged Brooklyn bridge, its middle span destroyed by a bomb to quarantine New York in one of the film's crucial action sequences. "The middle span is gone up to the towers, and from the towers on, you can still see the suspension cables, the vertical cables and the deck [from the towers to the shores].
