tonight, playing tennis, i inadvertently killed a dragonfly tonight. well not inadvertently, i totally killed it, but it was an accident! i swear...
sequence of events:
-ball toss into the air
-right arm is back, left arm is up
-right arm, holding racquet, and body twists forward
-smashes ball
-ball smashes dragonfly that flew by at the exact same height as where the ball was hit in the air
-ball lands on the other side of the net, on the inside corner of the service box. an ace!
-dragonfly falls smack down onto the ground with a 'snap' sound, not to mistaken the snap of the ball hitting the racquet
-helen utterly traumatized by sequence of events
total time of sequence of events: 2 seconds
it was horrible, i couldn't continue playing on my side with the dead insect. it was too traumatizing. i had to switch sides before play could continue.
on the bright side, at least i didn't kill a bird.
