"So it Goes." Said Charon

New story I wrote after witnessing a car crash that should have left 4+ people dead. Not a mythos story, but this is the only forum that I know of in which people might actually read and comment. There's plenty of and parts, but I'm to lazy to fix them up right here atm, I feel rather lousy. Let me know what you think!
You Servent, except to JP, whom I still like but will not serve under his tyranous hand,

Chapter 1
Ray DeSusa sped along Route 495 listening to an audiobook of Kurt Vonnegut, Jrs’, The Children’s Crusade on his new iPod. He was late for a job installing a cable modem at a clients office in Quincy. He looked at the speedometer to see if he would make it on time, it read: HYPERSPEED ENGAGED, a brisk 85 miles-per-hour. This was none to fast for Ray, who put the petal to the metal and exploded out of the traffic gate with another 10 miles-per-hour under his belt. The cars behind him faded into the distance like stars when Captain Jean-Luc Picard ordered the Enterprise into hyperspace. Ray lit a Lucky Strike, took a thick stream of smoke into his pillaged lungs and exhaled a muted “nike.” Victory was his, he’d make it to the job on time, if not early, at this speed.
The second chapter of The Children’s Crusade had clicked onto his car stereo. “Listen:” said the narrator “Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.” I’m listening old man, thought Ray contentedly, when his front right tire became unstuck to its axis and escaped across the highway and into the woods. Rays truck hit the guardrail 3 lanes to the right, doughnuted once in the direction of incoming traffic and somersaulted 2 times, landing on his roof and grinding to a halt against a royal blue minivan in the same lane he had started in.
