An officer just stopped by and told me that a man died. Yesterday, I remember that after I got off the phone with 911, several people who were also driving south had stopped, and were standing around me taking turns telling me, "I saw the whole thing; there was nothing you could have done."
"There was nothing you could do. It could have been any of us."
I still can't explain how I feel.
