You could freak out because your phone runs out of charge while you’re texting. You could pop another Xanax because you got passed over for a promotion, even though you slacked every day at work and you know it. You could ride your bicycle, but it’s over 72 degrees. Too hot. You could circle the parking lot over and over until a space opens up out front –of the gym. You could let the call go to voicemail because you know it’s your best friend calling, and he’s moving today and he lives in a third-floor walkup.

You could, or you could be like Dean Zimmer.
