Possibly the worst work shift of my life
Going to keep details brief because I am exhausted both physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I worked a 3-Cl at the fast food restaurant I work at, and was the last one out because my work partner was not doing the work quickly and spent a great deal of time being distracted. (I get it, some days are just like that)
My real issue with today starts with the drive home at around 11:30. I’m turning onto the road that leads to my house and a raccoon bolts out of the bushes. I couldn’t stop I was going too fast (about 35 mph, within the speed limit) and I hear the poor thing’s body get crushed under the tires.
I feel like a monster and I want to undo that, what right did I have to, accidental or not, to take its life?
