Ah yes. This reminds me of an old Chuck Palahniuk book I read as a nineteen year old... I think it was called Survivor. Anyway, a character is in a car accident and the dashboard figurine goes through their eye.

Come to think of it, I think it was a Jesus statue. So you should have nothing to worry about.

I couldn’t not notice! One two many fall walks with a girl whose face is the song’s lyrics had made religious icons and automobiles inseparable for me! :)
