Because.
It had been the greatest day of my entire life.
My novel had been accepted for publication. My debts were paid off. The coffee I drank in the morning was perfect. I had a bear claw for the first time and it was amazing. All the lights on the way to work were green. No one parked in my spot. The IT guy had finally fixed my computer. I picked up flowers on the way home. On a whim, I popped the question. She said yes! Also, Man U won the game. It’s hard to decide which thing I was more excited about.
Perfect day.
And then a zeppelin fell on me.
