I don’t believe it was a malfunction. I know those traffic lights tried to kill me and I know they’ll do it again.

I had been to see the film Psycho.
I woke up in hospital with a broken leg. They told me that the traffic lights had malfunctioned and had caused the accident.

The traffic lights changed to green and I started running across the road.
The next thing I knew, a car was speeding towards me and I was flying through the air.
It happened last Friday. It was raining and I was walking home from the cinema alone.
