Jeff Pearlman, a friend of the blog (FOTB), has been among the most supportive friends of Brian Hickey, the journalist who was nearly killed in a hit and run in December 2008.

Today, Hickey shares his story. It's a long read but as amazing, compelling, stunning a story as you will read. The subtitle of his story:

Local journalist Brian Hickey was lost to the world for a month after being left for dead on a South Jersey street by a hit-and-run driver. He reports his own story of what happened and his miraculous recovery.

Just read it. And be thankful it wasn't you.
