  While walking home, Jordan felt things around him slow down. He was hit like the waves never
did. This wasn’t pleasant or constructive. It hit like a truck. A mack truck to be precise. Our hero,
the pedestrian, was struck by a mindlessly operated vehicle, in a beautiful exhibit of parallel
circumstances. The divergent affects of the collision however, are much more pertinent to our
tale. As our hero-on-autopilot lay, out-like-a-light in his ambulance (and soon hospital) bed, his
equal-oppostie was up to his neck in thoughts about how to defend himself in court, what to tell
the officer, if he has the guts to talk to the family, who he will tell, what kind of job he can get after
this, how he’s going to live with himself. Fortunately for our brave cadet, the undertow swept him
away from the situation. He didn’t have to make a single decision, everything was neatly taken
care of for him, including the medically induced coma.
