Around the edges of the beams of light I'm following, the wet tarseal sparkles like moonlight on the waves of an ocean. I'm lulled by the smooth motion of my windscreen wipers, rested yet weary after a long drive. I ride the curves of the road, I know these twists and turns. I'll be home soon.
The complete, velvety dark of a night without stars or streetlights surrounds my island of warmth and light, pressure without malice. There's something lying on the road in front of me, and I swerve out to avoid it, my eyes straining into the dark of my rearview mirror once I've passed.
I'm walking through the rain, my car parked in a stranger's driveway, back toward the still form briefly glimpsed.
I crouch beside the quiet body and reach out a tentative hand. Warm tears are mixing with the cool rain on my cheeks. The kitten is still warm, and as I pick it up its last breath escapes it in a small, lonely mew.
God kills kittens.

I like your edge.
I like how you speak to FJ.
I'd like to violate you.

Shield...windshield.
They both work.
If I used the term windscreen here, people would cock their heads to one side and ask if I was from around here...like calling the trunk of the car the boot, or the bonnett...or whatever other type of clothing is associated with cars.

I can't get my head around this whole *fingerquotes* windscreen thing. You're a kiwi yes? My aunts all marry kiwis and then drag them kicking and screaming by the hair to Canada where they inevitably spend the next 6 months staring wide-eyed out the window at chipmunks because it seems to be the only type of rodent you're lot doesn't have.
I liked this post though - it was short, to the point, and well-written.

Every time people masturbate, God kills a kitten. Are you trying to tell us that you're The Terminator except for Jeebus?

God kills kittens.......For the sake of humanity.
Kittens have been listed as the next major threat for a animal to human viral transmission vector. They already have cat AIDS, next it'll be cat Ebola, and from there a short jump to a widespread plague of blood-shitting, feverish proportions.

I saved my ex-neighbor's cat a number of months ago.
Its hip was obviously broken, yet when she grabbed the cat out of my arms she picked it up by its armpits. She's dumb
That cat's buddy ended up loving me and would wait by our door for me when I would come home from school. Apparently it was still showing up for a month or so after I moved elsewhere.
The cat I saved was just afraid of everything and everyone, however, which seemed to be for the best.
Moral of the story, you should have snapped its neck immediately.

only near, something about killing myself in response to an ubersite post seems so 2006!
...and emo
good thing I got My Chemical Romance music, my thousands of myspace friends, and superficial self inflicted cuts to keep me from doing anything crazy

God didn't kill the kitten, he was knocked down and then you finished him off picking him up! No God at work here, just un-road-savvy kitty.
Where's the rest of this? There should be more, I'm disappointed. My cats always got knocked down... very sad...
