Michael’s Accident: A Description Of A Road Traffic Accident
I once saw a boy get run over, and it’s something I’ve never forgotten. Telling a friend the story recently, it occurred to me how a written account might be of general interest. Essays can be at their most illuminating when they plainly describe events without analysis. Classic journalism, I guess.
My latest essay then, is the description of the accident I saw, put as objectively as I can. Names have been changed, for the usual reasons.
