Mickelsson's Ghosts (2010)
“Every time he closed his eyes he saw again those sudden, blinding lights in the curtain of white flakes, slicing out of nowhere, less like a car than like a speeding UFO, and he felt again that sickening yaw of weightlessness as the Jeep snowplowed sideways, climbing—leaping like a wolf—up the wall of the high, soft snowbank and stones underneath, teetering, tilting far over as if to topple, then righting itself. The other car too had gone sideways up onto the snowbank, rolling part way over on...to the door of the driver’s side, sending out an arc of white glitter like spray from a motorboat, roaring like a train as the metal caved in, the headlights aiming down, his own aiming straight, from slightly above, at her windshield. It felt to Mickelsson like the whole spin-out of his life reduced to one timeless instant—his financial ruin, his sick infatuations, his self-destructive smoking and drinking, his professional collapse. … He stripped to his underwear to lift weights for a while.MoreLess
