I killed a rat! :(

[radlations]

So its 10:30PM and im driving my friend home. And I just turned on my lights. Him and I are talking about something and as I'm driving I notice a thing in the road. Pretty small.

Then the tail moved up and down in a whipping motion. Thats when I realized it was a rat in the middle of the road, On its back whipping its tail.

I didn't realize it until it was too late. I feel sorta bad because it was a split second decision that I couldve avoided. I could've swirved across the road. but I chose not to. Argh I feel bad.

The temperature is pretty cool so I don't think it was having a heat stroke. Im guessing he was already hit or someone injured him and tossd him there.

Don't feel bad. You say it was probably already injured in some way, not meaning to sound horrible here, but maybe it was best for the rat if it was already suffering.

And it was on its back.

Rats don't normally lie on their backs in the middle of the road right?

[Stace87]

I wouldn't imagine so

[jazzybff]

It was probably injured and in pain. You did it a favor by ending its pain.

[Skitza]

its ok you shouldn't feel bad. i know its hard to get over a loss, but if he was on his back then i guess he was already in pain? its ok, God has a plan, and its all apart of his wonder plan.

I doubt racardo would sleep in the middle of the road though. If the rat was healthy and coherent, it would have run. The rat was probably already very, very hurt.

I doubt it would be on it's back, in the middle of the road, if it was ok though

Edit: Oops posted same time as you Forensic lol. Snap!

Most likely scenario - is it had already been hit by a car - so it
was most likely thankful you finished the job.
