roadkill.

The other day i was driving to work, when all of a sudden i saw a giant dead raccoonlike creature smack in the middle of my lane. It was placed in such a way that there was no going around it, and i was forced to drive directly over it. It was so large that i heard the distinct "thump, thump" as it came into contact with the underside of my car. I was seriously grossed out- even felt a little gag reflex coming on. It was almost like i killed the poor thing myself. It could have been worse, i suppose. It could have gotten stuck under my car and been dragged for miles only to come to rest when i reached my destination. What a pleasant surprise that would have been.
