Long-ish Form

There I was at the light, full stop, when it happened. By a millisecond, I heard it first. Then in less than a breath felt the fullness of the impact. It was a rainy day in Delray, heavy rains that made the roads slick. I will die on the hill of Florida having some of the worst drivers in all of the fifty states. It doesn’t take much water in the air for me to see three or four accidents in the middle of perfectly unassuming roads, and on that day I was one of them.
