Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

aka I'm the soft filling in a thin shelled metal creampuff hurlting around at 50 mph!

I think of it as my crunchy candy coating protecting me from the world speeding by. Then I yell at zoomy motorcycles to be careful because they do not have a crunchy candy coating to protect them. I try not to say it out loud if I have passengers.

Yeah, sometimes I look around, and I'm like, how did we get here from stardust? That's just weird.

And fascinating.

Endlessly! (Or until such time as the our universe goes *poof!*)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why are you only going 50mph? Go faster! Go faster!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I want some flash disaster to take us all out.

Thanatos, baby!

Read J.G. Ballard's intro to the French edition of Crash and the whole car/death thing is recast.

There's such a huge disconnect between:

1. Unlikely horrible events to happen;

and,

2. Likely horrible events that happen.

Too many stoplights. Remember, I'm living in the middle of an eastcoast city now. I rarely break 50 these days unless I've got to get on the beltway or other freeways. And that maybe happens once a month.
