I hit a Jack Rabbit going sixty or seventy five, I turned off the radio, I was on the road for 18 hours already, thats when shadows come alive, I never hit anything before, never killed anything that big. When I was 14, I lived in Kansas, Kansas city granted, but Kansas all the same. We would go to my friends farm, he owned enough guns for a small militia, mostly shotguns. There were 3 of us, with three scatter killing booms. We would rake the fields to flush anything out, crickets, grasshoppers, we hoped for ducks or quail (I only pretended too, I wasn't sure then if my ***** really dropped) and we would shoot, Sometimes for the noise, other times for the show. I never killed anything. On the way back home I saw a little chickadee perched high in a tree, I shot, and he fell. "Nice one man!" I ran over, hiding my tears, and buried him. I got out of there as soon as I could, Kansas that is, I was stuck at the farm. Eight years later and I'm still not sure about my ***** This time I didn't bury him. I like to think it was male, for some reason that lessens the pain. I don't know if I crushed the life out of him quickly, I imagine it was slow, toturing myself with every detail as my retribution. Made a nice thump though. I could feel his delicate body even through the tire the shocks and the rest of the parts between me and his ****** corpse. Softer than a speed bump. Why did Dorothy ever go home.
