AI Summary
5 min readThe Glitch That Saved a Life
A man biking home from work watches a white Toyota Prius stop at a red light. He notices a small dog in the back seat staring at him. Then he sees a black pickup truck barreling toward the intersection, the teenage driver looking down at his phone. At the last second, the kid looks up, slams on his brakes, and veers—directly toward where the cyclist is sitting. He wakes up in a cold sweat, heart pounding. It was just a dream. But the next day, riding home on the same route, he gets an inexplicable urge to stop at a CVS near that intersection. As he parks his bike, he looks up and sees the white Prius at the light. Then the black truck. The same sequence unfolds—except this time, the truck clips the Prius and slams into a light pole instead of hitting a cyclist who was never there. The driver went to the hospital. The woman and her dog were shaken but fine. The man stood there shaking, unable to move, replaying the dream that had saved his life.
