Yesterday night, we were so very close to having a badly dented car and a savoury boar loin gourmet meal. We almost had our car crashing into a wild boar!!!

*Luckily we didn't collided... else you might see some fancy wild boar traffic accident headline in today's paper*
PHEW! Close shave.
Imagine yourself driving in the hours of "darkness" (with the only illumination from the lamp post and headlights) with visibility on the roads slightly reduced from the drizzling... and suddenly you realized one blackish dark "thing" (couldn't even tell initially) "popping out of nowhere" and moving into your path.
Before I could even react from Xian's question of "eh, what's that?"... I felt the slamming of brakes and heard the screeching sound.
Shit. We were so damned close to hitting it. So freaked out.
This wild boar wasn't even dashing across the roads like what cats and dogs normally do when they see the glaring headlights... it was sort of in a strolling mode.
Stupid Wild Boar.
