It came from the right side of the road, low and fast, and stopped in my lane.
I only saw it because my headlights caught the yellow eyes first.
The coyote stood there facing the car with its head lowered.
I had maybe two seconds to react.
I did not swerve that time.
I hit it.
The impact was sickening.
The front of my car slammed down, then up.
I heard my engine make a sound it should not have made.
The steering wheel jerked in my hands, but I kept the car straight.
My uncle yelled, what happened?
I said, I hit it.
He said, keep driving.
I did.
I kept driving even though the car was now making a grinding sound and one headlight was flickering.
The headlights behind me vanished.
No turn off.
No dust cloud.
Nothing.
One second they were there, and the next second the road behind me was black.
