Necropsy

Once out of town I started my victory speech.

"Oh my goodness I can't believe that just happened." A low groan from my pack made me quickly unzip it and Stupid sprang out and tore around the car.

I made a grab for the panic stricken cat and set her in my lap stroking her head. Eventually her panting stopped and turned to a purr of comfort. I smiled down at her again relishing how I had saved us both.

I barely had time to notice the man dart across the road and into my headlights.

"Oh Shit!", I gasped and pressed my foot to the brakes quickly. I didn't run him over but I did hit him with a satisfying thump then fell to the ground in front of my hood out of sight and probably unconscious.

I looked from Stupid to the the hood of my car multiple times before letting out another sigh.

"This is worse than the bathroom." I muttered and felt like Stupid definitely agreed with me.
