I almost died today.  Sometimes I can become so hyper-focused on a task or a thing its sort of like an obsession.  Blotting out everything to the point of oblivion.  While I was focused on the train I needed to be on, I headed for the train crossing.  I never saw or heard the train that was about to crush my body to a bloody pulp.  I didn’t see my life flash before my eyes the way I sometimes do right before I have a completely near miss.
