Well, this is a little bit delayed, but God saved my life the other night. It's quite strange, and very powerful (especially with a vivid, active imagination) to see in your mind the hundreds of possible scenarios of how it could have been had things gone the other way. It's like the old cliche, "I saw my life flash in front of me," except in reverse. After you've seen and worried about your past-here comes your future, roaring up out of the depths of your imagination like some sub-terrestrial demon to haunt your mind. It is in those moments, after you've seen what you have been, that you can see the future of what you might be. Sometimes, it could be you lying dead on a street, with your body crushed. Or it could be you spending inestimable amounts of hard-earned money on medical expenses you never planned to pay. Or, maybe, it could be as simple as having to face your parents and explain why the family vehicle is splattered with the blood of some now-dying animal. But, despite all that: thanks God. It was awful nice of you to save me like that. I hope someday I can repay you. As if I ever could.
