Squirrel Attack

I was in the park today enjoying the fall weather and taking in the autumn leaves when I came across this squirrel.

I was standing next to a rail when I noticed this little guy climb up the rail and run up next to me.

Since he was just about a foot away from me I thought, "Hmm...maybe I should snap this guy on my cell phone camera. Usually these guys are pretty boring but what the hell."

So I reached into my inside pocket and retrieved my phone. I looked back at the squirrel just to see if he was still there while I was getting my camera ready.

I looked back at my phone to get the settings right when out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of black fur, tooth and nail.

Suddenly I realized that the little bastard had jumped on to my shoulder. I was being mugged.

So my survival instincts kicked in and I rolled my right shoulder with such force that I flung my enemy eight feet down and smote his ruin on the pavement below.

But as soon as his carcass met the sidewalk he rolled and came up into a defensive stance. The bastard wanted more!

I took a half step back and was ready to launch a brutal roundhouse to his head if he wanted to taste my size 10 Addidas sneaks. The bastard stood his ground and gave me the evil eye.

Respecting each other's power, we each backed off and broke off the fight. The squirrel kept following me (no doubt looking for a free meal), but stayed back a fair distance.

Fucking squirrel.
