Sometimes, when there's been an accident and reality is too sudden and strange to comprehend, the surreal will take over. Action slows to a dreamlike glide, frame by frame; the motion of a hand, a sentence spoken, fills an eternity. Little things-a cricket on a stem, the veined branches on a leaf-are magnified, brought from the background in achingly clear focus.
