Who knew zombie deer were suicidal?
That's right, those who remember the league will remember my battle with the evil zombie midget deer that plague the hill where I live. Apparently word of my prowess has spread, because tonight, I finally drove one to suicide.
I was just finishing a short run and coming up the last bit before home, when a car started to come past on the far side of the road. The deer came across the street away from the car, but saw me, and obviously overawed by my physical prowess, wheeled back around and dove straight into the side of the car. What a sound! When the metal hits the meat, it stays with you for a while.........But sadly, the deer obviously would rather face a clean death than take it's chances with me.
It ran off into the night, but I think I can hear it crying in the darkness. It bodes not well for the white-tailed one.............
In other news, the lady driving the car was okay. However while the sedan only suffered a couple of minor dents, it seemed to be scared and kind of shook up, so it was given a sedative and taken to the hospital for observation.
Really though, nobody was hurt, but this was kind of freaky. I've never caused man......erm, deerslaughter as a pedestrian before. It came out of nowhere, turned and BAAMMM!!!! I'm not particularly sentimental over bambi, but I think the sound from that accident is gonna play in my head for a day or two.......maybe I'm gonna start wearing my little flashing light on my shoes at night........
