Devil's Night Demon

How appropriate for tonight... but a sad reality of this world. Opossums are demonic looking things anyway, but tonight what I saw topped them all. Just as I was coming to the top of a hill my headlights illuminated the eye of a bloody opossum sitting in the middle of the road like a dog would sit waiting for treats. His face was covered in blood and his hind end had been rolled over. The scene would give most people the creeps. He was just sitting there waiting to be finished off. Erie, yet sad. I didn't have the spine to finish him off...but I hope somebody did. I don't adore opossums, but I don't like to see anything suffer. This life can be cruel sometimes.
