Rabbit

Driving home in the half dark, I hit a rabbit. It ran, but not fast enough, I braked but not hard or soon enough. In my rear view mirror I see it fall to the ground as if in slow motion.

Oh, I know the feeling. Happened to me on my first night out with my father's car, ran over a squirrel and was too scared to stop in the dark.

That's a horrid feeling, but, to be very practical, you have also provided a meal for scavengers.

Noooo! But maybe it had myxomatosis and you saved it suffering.
