That did it, on the loose
One morning I was specifically not looking up when out of nowhere she swings down from a branch and practically knocks me over. Heart attack!
I dropped my backpack and wrenched my neck, and that did it. I refused to wait under that tree with that maniac monkey on the loose anymore.
1, that did it- does it mean: I wrenched my neck and it worked (the neck wasn't panic)?
2, on the loose - the monkey isn't fixed by a lope so it could jump down anytime?
