## Caption

It was not an event that I chose to cover, but more so, an event that befell me.

It was a cold and damp day, but that hardly mattered. I must have been driving back from work along the Skokie highway. I usually exit at Lake Cook Road. This time, however, I exited too early and got off at Deerfield Road. Upon entering the overpass, I drove west and had the option to continue left on Deerfield Road or turn right onto Berkeley Road. Maybe I was so distraught from my mistake that I was aiming to avoid all things associated with it. As such, I chose to turn right as a possible means of getting back on course.

The road descended to street level as if I were still departing the highway. I came upon an intersection where turning right led to a dead end, going straight would be the complete wrong direction, and a U-turn seemed impossible. There also was another road, McCraren, that ran along Berkeley on the left side. It was distinct and didn’t seem connected to any other road, almost coming out of the ground. In light of these peculiar circumstances, I chose to turn left. I then turned left on the next street, Arbor, to head south. I tried turning left again to get back to the highway, but Northland Avenue only led to a dead end. A left on the next street, Midland, would have led to another dead end.
