May 21st Rapture - came true for this squirrel today
Just got back from Disney World with family, while there i was amazed at the squirrels. These critters would not move as I walked by; came with inches of several that just sat there, same way with some rabbits... How does this become emotional, you might ask?
I was walking along by a rather crowded pool at Coronado Springs resort today, minding my own business, when this squirrel bolts across the sidewalk... All i saw was a gray streak for a split second that ran straight towards/under me...He ran right under my foot, as i was walking...All i heard was a crunch, snap, pop; my foot hit something soft as i was in "downstep" and the little guy started kicking his last few kicks.
Parents just stared at me in disbelief, & Kids started looking at me like i was the "Squirrel Murderer"... I sort of froze, reached down, grabbed him by the twitching tail, and did an underhand toss in the thickest, closest, (manicured) flowerbed within range...
Drops of blood sprayed the sidewalk, As I tried explaining, then gave up, and continued walking
This little guy caused some emotional stress to onlookers today, and i heard three different lanquages saying???
( i had a small pocket knif in my pocket, thought of skinning him on the spot, for an easy meal, but decided against it... think Knifes maybe illegal in the park)
