I always have to push it to the limit. It amazes me that I still have all my limbs. I learned of my mortality on Christmas Eve. I was going home for the holiday.

I always liked the eastbound I-80 drive, yet I was evidently anxious to reach my mom's house. My '97 Acura was a hand-me-down from my poppa and it began to glide past 90 mph. So there I was, flying just above the pavement! I felt invincible! Little did I know, a instantaneous alteration in my surroundings would soon completely alter my life.
