I was driving home from the casino when I saw in the road a possum.
I live outside the city where our garbage cans have to be kept inside our garage because they and the raccoons get into them if you don't.
Almost on instinct, I sped up and drilled the little guy. Bump Bump. Both tires.
Then I turned around, to make sure he was out, and saw about five other sets of eyes, a whole family/group/pack of possums were in the road all checking out their dying friend.
As my headlights approached they all scattered except for the flat one. I then felt a little bad. Like all the other possums had lost a friend, and they cared enough about him to stop by just seconds after I squished him, to say goodbye as he lay dying.
Should I have doneit, and should I feel like a jerk now for driving over him on purpose?
