Rite Aid Racoon

While the family waited in the car, Mother entered Rite Aid only to exit a few minutes after, empty handed, and running. Behind her, a raccoon. As other shoppers and staff bounded into their cars, Mother leapt to the running board. Elevated above the asphalt in this manner, she peeked in the windows, counted her children, and resolved to stay put, fearing that the raccoon would enter with her, and ravage her family. Similarly, the raccoon, now under the neighboring car, held its ground, bringing panic to an awkward standstill. Shooing her back into the car, Daddy drove us home.
