On a pleasant summer night, the man steps outside of his friend's car who had just dropped him to his destination which was the city's main highway. He says goodbye to his friend and looks around for a cab to get to his home. He crossed the first part of the highway and now in front of him was thigh-high concrete barriers which he intended to go over and land on the second part of the highway, the road, so he thought! It was quite dark and as he falls into a ditch. In the first nano second, before his legs hit the ground nothing flashed before his eyes except he's dead now.
Luckily the ditch was no deeper than about seven or so feet. He lights up the torch of his phone and gets out. On his way home he kept reflecting on a quote which was that death creates time to grow the things that it would kill from True Detective, a TV show which made more sense to him than first.
"You look in their eyes (talking about dead people from the databases of detectives), even in a picture, doesn't matter if they're dead or alive, you can still read 'em. You know what you see? They welcomed it... Not at first, but... right there in the last instant. It's an unmistakable relief. See, cause they were afraid, and now they saw for the very first time how easy it was to just... let go. Yeah, they saw, in that last nanosecond, they saw... what they were. You, yourself, this whole big drama, it was never more than a jerry-rig of presumption and dumb will, and you could just let go."
