Scary Flash of Life Before Your Eyes


Four deer crossing the highway.

A semi truck coming towards us.

I thought he saw them. I thought he would slow down.

But he didn't.

It happened so fast.

I do not want to think what would have happened if I hadn't shouted at Russ "there are more! there are more!" and he hadn't started slowing down before we got to the crossing. Those two seconds...

I thought the third deer would stop.

I thought they would all make it.

I thought I would never stop crying. For the deer. For what could have happened.

Today I am (still) grateful for those two seconds.
