Doe. A deer. A female deer.

I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

Tonight’s drive home was fun.

Cruising along.

Watching houses go by.

Glance over.

Glance back.

There is a deer standing in the road.

I pump my brakes.

Grip the steering wheel.

Think to myself don’t swerve.

Then really stepped on the brakes.

I came to a stop about 30 inches from the precious animal.

They looked at me.

Then bounded off to the right.

I sat there.

Gripping the wheel.

Breathing deeply.

Then continued on.
