Do you make it there safely?

No

You're pretty sure you're not ready for some of the fancy moves Jackie showed you but one thing she said really stuck. You have to be more aware of your environment all the time.

So, as you walk between Crystal's apartment and the library, you work on that.

It seems silly. You could be remembering what it was like to make love with Crystal or analyze possible connections between the earthquake you created last night and the programming framework you've been developing. Instead, your attention is fully on passing Uber cars, men in trench coats (it is the bay area... always chilly even in summer), and backpack carrying schoolchildren. Who knows when one of them might turn into a suicide bomber.

You're just berating yourself for paranoia when the sound of squealing tires penetrates your awareness and you look up to see an SUV barreling toward you.

"Always be aware of your surroundings," Jackie had lectured you. "Always try to see your bolt holes, your escape routes.

Except you'd been too busy thinking about what you were thinking about to actually create any awareness.

You freeze.

The car bears down on you fast.

Shit.

Are you dead?
