the tradgedy of good luck

While on the walk, Eric loses Nova after she pulls the leash from his hand in pursuit of a rabbit

that happens to jump out of a bush as they pass by it.

After a great deal of time passes, it becomes clear that Nova has outrun her sense of orientation and is now lost.

Eric and Vanessa talk for a little while and seem to hit it off.

While driving through an intersection, Eric is T-boned at full speed by a driver

who distractedly runs a red light coming from the perpendicular side street.

He's furious at the possibility that his life could be ruined by this one random happenstance.

we caught it while it's still benign before it became malignant and grew into any other areas of your brain,

Eric feels a strange, paradoxical sense of helplessness and liberation.

Eric is mostly as good as new, with exception to a scar running down the side of his scalp.
