Occasionally I have to wait for the bus in the rainy cold night. Not all bus stops are well-lit. This raises the problem of monsters, obviously, but I can usually combat that by talking on my phone – the monsters, you know, won’t want to interrupt my conversation. The larger problem is that the bus will drive right by me. To avoid this, I hurl myself into the street, actively deciding that it’s better to be HIT by a bus than to MISS one.
