Calgary, Alberta

Even though it would be one of the biggest accidents ever on the Trans-Canada highway, the Calgary accident started with one car. One car that hit one patch of ice at the wrong angle, or going a tiny bit too fast. It spun, and hit a car going in the other direction, which made that car spin, and that car wound up under a semi, which buckled in the middle, which slammed into another car.

It's always a possible outcome, any time anyone gets in any car. There's always one outcome of deciding to get behind the wheel that is a terrible crash. I've learned not to even worry about it.

That's the thing about seeing the future. When you do, you know that every single day ends in death. And every single day ends in happiness. It's just a matter of which choices get made by whom along the way that decide which outcome you get today.

That day, the driver of that one car got the death outcome.

So did a lot of other people.

And that last part? That was my fault.
