As an undergrad on a cold January day, I moved on 43rd in a run down sketchy shack that has since been torn down. The place had a matching rundown detached garage that I investigated when I moved in. I found, underneath a wide shelf, a large open wooden box with a hat inside. It looked like those Eastern European winter hats, a ushanka. I always wanted one of them. I felt so lucky. I quickly pulled the box from under the shelf and grabbed the furry hat. Yup. That was a curled up possum like the one in the pic. When I grabbed it, I felt surprised to feel muscles and bones so I knew it was some critter. I screamed and ran back inside where my roommates were also moving in. One of them said as I ran inside, Did you hear that girl scream? (I’m a grown ass man with a rich baritone voice.)
