A Squirrel…

A squirrel ran over my feet yesterday.

I was walking to class when out of my peripheral vision I spotted a gray squirrel monkeying his way down a tree right next to the sidewalk.

Apparently he didn’t see me until the last second when he paused and almost turned back around, but instead he made a snap decision and just hightailed it across the sidewalk(and my feet).

It scared the hell out of me. The situation was somewhat similar to a deer jumping out in front of a car.

I could have stepped on it, but luckily the thing moved quickly enough to avoid getting squished underfoot. It’s not often that one gets run over by a wild animal, especially if it’s small, cute, and very fat.
