oh my goodness... on the way to work today, i saw this really beautiful bird on the other side of the road. it was quite large, about the size of a chicken. it started to run across the street, i thought to myself "what is it doing". it ran RIGHT in front of me. i heard a thud, my car bumped up a little, then thru the rear view mirror i could see it writhing around on the ground. i just prayed "oh God, let it be dead. kill it now God" it was so beautiful and unusual. i tried to figure out what it was, then looked up different possibilities on the internet. it was a roadrunner. i ran over a roadrunner. i've never run over anything with my car before (other than that deer), why did i have to kill a roadrunner?!?! why not a squirrel or a pigeon!?!?! some of its feathers are in my grill. they're very pretty. its sad :( oh man, it makes me chuckle a little. i hope that doesn't make me a bad person. i wasn't aware there were roadrunners in this area. perhaps i killed the only one.
repressed at will,
give it time.

I giggled when i read your story... again!
I giggled too. Right before the part where you said you giggled.
Sad though.
it IS sad, but funny in a tragic kind of way. humour isn't a bad legacy to leave behind.
