It could happen to any of us, any second.<\/p>\n

Today\u00a0I read about a thirty five year old man who had blood clot in his ankle. The next morning he was found dead<\/a>. \u00a0It is so sad but also something all of us face.<\/p>\n

Life is an incredibly fragile phenomenon. Life is also one of the most persistent, unusual, and mysterious forces in our Universe.<\/p>\n

In my novel Pomroy’s World I attempted to explore this fear that hangs over all humans. A young teenager is on his skateboard and weaving his way down a street. All of us see teens like this every day. They don’t seem to have a care in the world.<\/p>\n

At the same time, on the same street, I watch impatient drivers honk when the car in front of them slows down for a second. They race their engines and lean on their horns to show their hatred and anger at the unfair delay they are being subjected to.<\/p>\n

It is only a matter of time and chance before the unthinkable happens. \u00a0A boy is hit by a racing vehicle and he either lives or dies. In Pomroy’s World, a third possibility is presented. The teen is in a coma and the doctors say he will never regain consciousness.<\/p>\n

What happens next is my dream and my hope for Pomroy and everyone else like him.<\/p>\n
