Death by tire?

I'm pretty sure I killed a baby alligator last night. I was driving to my boyfriend's house, down a very dark road and I see a stick? right in line with my tire. Seconds before I ran it over and heard the most gruesomest crunch of my life, I realized that it was no stick, but a baby alligator.

What. the. hell.

Only in Florida, does road kill contain the words: baby and alligator.

Alligators are so scary, and they EAT people, and I have so much respect for alligators that I can't even eat their tails in restaurants, yet I am responsible for taking one's life, a baby at that? Freakin' A yo! That sucks balls!

But this morning driving home, I couldn't find the thing. I watched the opposite side of the road the whole way (I'm such a safe driver, who needs to look straight ahead?), and saw no sign of an alligator corpse.

Maybe it was a stick? A very baby alligator like stick, that made one horrible, horrible, crunch as I ran over it? Let's hope so.

That crunch is a sickening feelings. You don't know it was a baby alligator so I wouldn't get too freaked out about it. It was just a...stick.
