A man steps off the curb

And out of his comfortable life. It happens in an instant.

“George rallies. He can see he’s the only one who has stepped into the intersection, so he must be the one. He puts his other foot forward, . . .”

Violent and traumatic, the event, and what he does in the the next few minutes, transform his life.
