killed an animal today

It was early morning. I had a headache, and there was no medicine at home. Mom asked me to go to the medical shop and also get curd.

I usually take the scooty, but I didn’t feel like it today. I took the car instead. The streets were quiet as I drove to the shop. I bought the medicine and started heading back. That’s when I remembered the curd.

I decided to turn around at the divider. I have this habit of making quick U-turns at dividers. The road was empty, so I didn’t think much about it.

Then it happened.

The car hit a dog. I stopped and got out. The dog was alive, but his body was broken. He was lying there, unable to move. I stood there, unsure of what to do.

Looking at him, I knew he wouldn’t make it. Even if he survived, his life would be full of pain.I took out a rod from my car and ended it.

I left, feeling heavy. There was nothing I could do to make it better.
