Here’s a dramatic opening line for you: A year ago this weekend, I was hit by a car while crossing the street.
This is the story per the police report and my hospital notes: I was hit by a green Fiat at 3:15 pm; I arrived in hospital fully conscious; I had fractured my skull in two places and suffered some bruising and minor bleeding on my brain; no surgery was required; CT scans and ultrasounds confirmed I had no other injuries; I spent 9 days in hospital for observation; a subsequent MRI 6 weeks later indicated satisfactory progress towards recovery and no need for further intervention.
That story sits comfortably in a folder of forms and papers with official letterheads, but it feels rather incomplete.
Where's Zoe now?
