there was an accident tonight involving a HUGE truck and a kitty. i stopped my car, jumped out (my daughter put the flashers on), and put a warning triangle in the road to keep another car from mashing the kitty into pudding. aside from that, there was nothing i could do but call 911 and ask for animal control. i could tell from the injuries that a cleanup was going to be needed, nothing more. no one would need to be notified, since no one bothered to collar her.
the kitty let out her final meow to the world and i glanced up, away from her still form in the bright lights of oncoming traffic. a shooting star glittered but a moment. i mentioned the star to my eldest child, who was fighting back tears.
"maybe she was a good kitty," she said. "make a wish."
