Possum
I’ve never, until today, known what a possum looked like. I figured, going on the supposition that it’d be like raccoons or hedgehogs or something, that it’d be furry and cute-ish, perhaps have some sharp teeth and claws. I suppose I was thinking ‘ferret’, when I should have been thinking evil, satanic, spawn of the gods of the more hideous parts of the underworld. I have never in my life seen anything that freakish looking. It’s like a giant grey rat with an even worse attitude than a rat would have. I never, ever, want to meet one. They’re creepy.
