I hit a rabbit. Dinner anyone? (long)
My first roadkill, actually. Not surprisingly - I'm an animal person - I feel pretty bad about it.
Driving back from our campus gym on 24 Ave N in Nashvegas, right next to a row of sororities. And yeah, there were some sorority girls I know standing outside.
So it's dark. By this point the sun had been set for awhile. I'm driving maybe 25mph since I'm on campus, nobody behind me and nobody in the oncoming lane.
All of a sudden, a brown/white rabbit about 3/4 the size of a football darts out. At the time, it was kinda cute. Regardless, this little guy was the friggin' Michael Johnson of rabbits. He wanted to get to the other side of the road so bad I could see the fire in his eyes. Unfortunately I could also see the glare of my headlights in his eyes since by now he is right in front of me.
All I could think was, "OH NOOOOOEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!1ONE"
Two feet in - hard. So hard, in fact, that I thought I was going to push the brake pedal through the firewall. I wanted to save this rabbit from his own stupidity. Darwin would've hit me in the face.
Time passes, and it seems like I've been on the brakes for long enough. While I know now that the only reason I thought so much time had passed was because my mind was in overdrive, at the time I thought I was ok. So right when I started to relax...
BOOM!
...
BOOM!
In about a second close to 4000lbs of angry German sports sedan made a furry little coaster out of that poor little rabbit.
Now...I live in NYC when I'm not at school, and I've never hit a pothole that made my car do what that poor rabbit made it do. I pulverized the damn thing so badly I think I crushed it's soul, too.
One of the damn sorority girls screamed. Turned out I knew her. Her name is Carrie and she actually owns a rabbit that she keeps in her suite named Mr. Wiggles. What bad, bad timing. Hopefully she didn't know it was me.
Actually...hopefully that wasn't Mr. Wiggles. ****.
So I decide I can't just stop in the road, so I drive home. When I get home I get out to look for any unlikely damage. I don't see any, but I see some motion out of the corner of my eye. Lo and behold, I turn and see...
A black ****ing cat.
I don't like where this is going. I just decided to go 2+. Maybe it's a sign.

I don't understand why you didn't stop and carry Mr. Wiggles in to his destraught, but cute, owner.
Comfort her in her time of need, perhaps? Driving on seems rather callous.
