And it was on a flat surface... But I must've left it in neutral. I stepped inside for five minutes. Somehow, the car inched forward, barreled down the driveway, across the street, and smashed into the neighbor's kitchen, stopping 3 inches from a gas line. There are bicyclists on the street. There are moms pushing their babies in strollers. There are people walking their dogs and cars driving by. There were children inside the kitchen. So much could have changed for so many forever. Nothing went wrong. Everything was right. Everything slipped through in grace. Moreover, new friendships were made." 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗲�� 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.
