He steadied himself and got out of the car to find a deer, eyes wide and rolling every which way in astonishment. With it wrapped in his sweatshirt, he rushed to the hospital. “I’m sorry, but we only treat humans.” Sid swore. Placing his hand on the deer’s neck, he felt surrender. There wasn’t more he could do. So he just held his hand there until its marbled eyes focused no more. Then he sat on the parking lot concrete and cried.
