This morning I was singing aloud in my car while driving home from the grocery store.
I spent the past weekend away from town and, so as not to allow spoilage and a subsequent nasty smelling fridge, had consumed all edible foods on Friday. I journeyed this morning to pick up avacados, sweet potatoes, lettuce, beet chips, and so on.
And so, I was singing aloud in my car while driving home from the grocery store when a daring cat darted from one side of the neighborhood street to the other, meeting the underside of my car and back left tire before reaching the opposite curb in a wriggling stupor.
I ran over a cat. Then I screamed and continued driving.
And I'll never know what happened to that cat... because I continued driving and driving and driving and driving in shock until I had driven clear to my house. Then I enjoyed a delicious avacado sandwich with beet chips and a glass of orange juice. And the day went on in that sort of good fashion.
Still, poor cat.
