My nighttime walk tonight had a miserable ending to an otherwise fun time

I really enjoy nighttime walks, and I had a lot of fun at first tonight because it was foggy outside and I love fog (the pictures really don't do justice how very foggy it was, it was beautiful). I was running around out there from about 1-3:30AM EST this time. Less than a minute after I took the second-to-last picture, which is my favorite one I took this time, a fox ran across the street right in front of me while barking(?) really loudly. It startled me enough that I shouted "Ahhh! Fuck!" and tripped while running. I had my MP3 player attached to my belt loop by a lanyard, but it slipped out of my hand and smashed on the ground. As you can see from the last picture I attached, the back came off. Luckily, my micro SD card didn't get lost. I heard either the same fox or maybe its friend make its noise again from a different yard. It also started raining on me as I walked home. In case anyone's wondering, the book cover I have my busted MP3 player sitting on is Darwyn Cooke's graphic adaptation of "The Hunter," and I used it partly because Parker's expression there is pretty relatable to how I felt on the way home.
