"How amazing, he
thought, that society usually holds itself together—cars stay in
their lanes, stoplights are obeyed, the rules are almost always
followed. Rarely do people act so rashly, rarely does someone make an
effort to plow into school children or deliberately drop their keys
down a sewage drain. Yet throughout his adult life such troubling
notions unsettled and entertained him—and, inexplicably, titillated
him: he had imagined veering his vehicle into other cars or swerving
toward oblivious pedestrians on the sidewalk, perhaps killing himself
in the process."
