"You know that story where a child gets trapped under a car and their parent finds the superhuman strength to lift the car and save the child's life? I always wondered if that was real. If someone I cared about was hurt or trapped, would my instincts kick in? Would I know what to do? Would I lift the car? Jump in front of the bullet? Would I be able to beat somebody senseless? I like to think I would. 

 But sometimes the threat isn't physical. Sometimes it goes deeper. In which case, no instincts can save you. No superhuman strength. No adrenaline rush. You can't power your way out from under the crashing car. All you can do is sit...

...and wait...

...and wish things were different."

au revoir .
