I would like to publicly confess to a murder that I committed a few months ago. )Well technically it wasn't a murder as it was an accident but I can't call it manslaughter either because I killed a seagull not a man.) The incident took place before the slaying of the mouse referred to in our first blog and has been weighing on my conscience for quite some time.
I was late for work in the morning and so my driving was slightly erratic. I was going a little over the speed limit as I passed a school and up ahead was a small group of seagulls. I didn't bother slowing down because as I mentioned I was running a little behind time and birds always seem to move out of the way in time. Well this time one was not quick enough. I felt a thump on the front of my car and as glanced back in the rear view mirror I saw a puff of feathers and a small white lump lying on the road. That's not the worst part though.
I had hit the bird directly over a children's crossing. There were primary school students standing beside the road waiting to cross. I had killed this bird a metre or two away from these kids. I have probably scarred them for life.

Speeding in a school zone? Lucky it wasn't one of the kids, though that would have made for a really interesting blog.
ReplyDeleteWell school had already started so I would have taught them a valuable lesson about tardiness
