5:23 p.m.

I killed a squirrel today. I think. I’m almost positive. I have never hit an animal with my car before. Except for some birds when I moved into my very first apartment. But I’m not totally sure about that. (How can you hit birds? They don’t dart in and out of traffic, do they? Don’t they fly?) So officially, this is my first kill. Officially I am sad. Officially, I can never again say that I’ve never hit anything. (My friend Stacy drove over a dead something once, a big bump of roadkill, but that doesn’t count since it was already dead.) I haven’t been this disturbed about an animal since my sister’s cat had worms in his butt. I’m a horrible person and Karma will find me.
