It was Shocking

My best friend texted me a picture of a deer on her lawn. It was injured. Her mailbox was lying in pieces in the yard. There were also car parts on the ground from the car that hit the deer. She called the police who came out and put it out of its misery at 1 am. She watched out the window and it was still a shocking thing. She was so wound up from it that she could not sleep and we talked for over an hour. You never know what will happen that never happened to you before. Have you ever had a strange experience, something you never expected?

Poor deer! With that happening right in front of her own place, I don't doubt it was very shocking. On that note, a friend and I once drove on the usual freeway home late at night . . . on the side we saw this animal with red eyes - and waving its arms . . . it was just the oddest, freakiest thing to see. We concluded it was a racoon or something like that and it must've just gotten hit by a car .

@akalinus It looked like some animatronic . . . it wasn't huge, but still freaky.

@much2say It probably was a raccoon. It would have to stand to wave its arms. I don't know why it would have red eyes. Maybe it was some sort of cryptid like a chubracabra or something.

It is a good thing you didn't stop. It sounds dangerous.

All of its legs were broken. There was nothing anyone could do for it.

The deer is not alive. Someone from the town came and got it yesterday. It is a very sad thing that happened.

@thelme55 Sometimes, the things that happen in life are sad. This is sad because it involves an innocent animal without any idea what could happen to them.

She was pretty wound up and rattled. So was I when I heard about it.

@Hannihar Thank you. I am so glad she called after I texted her back. I would hate for her to think about this all night with no one to talk to.

How sad. I'm glad they were able to end its misery. If it went into the woods, it would suffer. Now I'm sad.

Its legs were broken. It was not going to get up and go anywhere. It is at peace now.

We cried because she thought it was a female with a baby inside.

Nothing like that. Only thing strange we've seen was the dog that was walking along the highway.

Someone might have abandoned it. People do that these days.

How sad and shocking. Yes I was sitting outside here at the table that was here, gone now, but anyway I watched an SUV flip and fly into the air and land on it's side right near us.

We were stunned. Whoever hit it lost part of their car but did not stick around.

The police did that. There was nothing to do to help it. The police officer kept it from suffering more.

@akalinus Right now I recalled an incident that happened when I was 18 or 19.We had to play a football match.The ground where the match was to be played was a little away from my house.A railway crossing was in between my house and the ground.When we arrived there;a train was about to pass;and the gate was closed.There were about 50 people assembled on both sides of the railway track waiting for the gate to open. A old woman;who was a beggar came.She was blind and deaf. The train arrived and suddenly the old woman proceeded and before we could understand anything;went ahead in the middle of the tracks.Just then the the speeding train arrived and the poor;old woman was crushed. It was so shocking.Parts of her frail body were scattered on the tracks.
