I hit a chipmunk today. It started off with good speed and looked like it would clear the road, but then it pulled up just short of the yellow stripe, took three more hops, but was still in the clear, but then, when I was ten yards away, decided to do a mad sprint and timed my front wheel perfectly. I was surprised that his tiny rodent skull made my wheel bounce. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw his lifeless body roll and I knew that I had taken a creature's life. This has saddend me greatly today. I might spend half of the day crying.
