On my way home from karate today, I first dodged a cat. Then I braked just in time to allow a deer to get out of the road so I didn't hit it. Then... there was a skunk.
The skunk was not as lucky as the cat and deer. I tried to brake and swerve to the left. I didn't see anything when I stopped, so I backed up. And the skunk was very hurt. Not dead, but it was trying to crawl off the road. I hurt it really bad. I think I probably just hit it's back leg, since it could barely walk.
I pulled over and watched it when it got into the ditch, and I called my dad. I asked him to call around to the animal shelter places, and the wildlife and fisheries place, and whatever else. They were all closed, because they close at fucking 3 pm, and said to defer to the police station for help. So we called the police station and they said unless I wanted to file an accident report for insurance they wouldnt do anything. So I couldn't do anything to help the skunk, that was obviously really hurt and in a lot of pain.
You probably think I'm stupid or silly for caring so much over a skunk. Well shove it up your ass. I hurt the poor thing and I couldn't do anything to help it. And now its probably going to die slowly. And what if it had baby skunks? Now they'll die because their mommy or daddy skunk couldn't feed them. And I hit it and all the stupid animal places close at an ungodly hour and I can't do anything to help it.
So once again, I have proven myself to be completely and utterly worthless.
Comments are off because I don't want to hear about how this happens all the time, and I shouldn't feel bad because I tried, and all that shit. Just let me mope. No, Im not angry, Im just really upset.
sad,
skunk,
