Clay glanced at his passenger, caught his eyes. They were green. Even in the dim light of the car he could see their color. His own eyes felt huge, heavy, tired, ready to close. Just as he shifted his eyes back to the road he saw something in front of the car. It was a man. Someone in the middle of the road. Clay slammed on the breaks but he was going too fast. Clay stretched out his arm towards Jason, as if to prepare him for a sudden stop. Outside, in the road, the man stretched out his arms towards Clay’s car, the palms flat open and the fingers wide. In the seconds that Clay’s car closed in on the man the details flashed into view — the spikey hair, the goatee, the sleeveless vest, the dark stretch of legs, and the black boots. The impact sent the man under the wheels of Clay’s car. Clay felt the shock absorbers fail to cushion the horror. Clay twisted the wheel, even though it was too late. The car banked, flipped over onto its side, and skidded to a stop when it hit a pole.
