New beginnings

And so a single thought came from nowhere and into existence. Did it finally grow a brain? Was it even a sea jelly anymore? This was a new level of sentience, that's for sure. More thoughts followed it, gently down the stream........

The fact that the rain was a contributing factor didn't occur to R.J. He was at first, in shock. That shock turned to rage real fast. The Sentra had run the stop. A clear violation of the law! The impact had spun his Tacoma SR a full revolution onto the other side of Oceanview. R.J. needed his tools now for all the wrong reasons. Tempered glass exploded indiscriminately on both fronts within seconds of each other. Unfortunately for Thomas Hoon, neither of his dislocated thumbs, nor his benevolent soul would be considered in this moment of judgement. The bovine expression that met him masked a simmering rage that could only be satiated by exacting revenge. A long cold darkness fell with R.J's hammer as the still waters of tomorrow turned crimson.

Repeat.
