A Slight Overreaction
Grace tripped on a crack in the sidewalk and began falling. She saw herself being born. She watched her parents shed a tear at her high school graduation. Grace observed herself pick up a butterfly and hold it close to her eye. She watched herself kiss her husband at her own wedding. An instant later she was at her son’s wedding and immediately after that she watched her grandchildren run into her arms. Grace looked down from the sky as she and her husband journeyed up the coast on a cruise ship. In the end Grace had a bruised knee.
