As I was driving to work this morning, I saw something on the road in front of me. It first looked like a kitten, but then I realized it was a skunk. I had less than a second to react, so I swerved to the left. Unfortunately, the skunk was also heading in the same direction crossing from the right side of the road to the left.I heard and felt a bump. It was what I would describe as a soft bump.
I immediately felt a little queasy. It had to be the largest thing I've ever killed. It was definitely the first mammal I ever squashed.
The skunk got the last laugh on me, as it probably managed to eject every bit of stink out of its body. The noxious skunk odor filled the inside of my car, and I think a little of it probably stuck to me for most of the day.
Sorry Mr. Skunk, it was an accident.
