Numb...

I'm feeling a bit numb this morning. As I was on my way to work I was nearly run over by a red sports car.

I heard it before I had seen it speeding up the offramp. And in the time it took me to look up, see to two headlights and react, several things passed through my mind: what if this car hits me, go right, go left.

I went left, which put me on the curb I had just stepped off of and allowed me to see how far it took the car to stop. The car was completely in the crosswalk and I'd have probably rolled over the top after the hit and would probably be in the hospital instead of typing this up.

There was no flash of my life before my eyes, just a reaction and a question and a numbness that has come over me. Hopefully it will pass soon and I can go about my day.

Overall, that's a pretty fucked up way to start a day.
