Events of a Split Second

I saw a deer get hit yesterday.

I was supposed to go to DC, but I had a bad feeling about it.  (The deer didn't help any.)  So after I had driven about an hour, I turned around and came back.

I didn't see it very clearly, because I was almost past it when it happened, but it seemed to me that the deer didn't look real at the moment of impact.  It flew through the air the way a plastic lawn ornament would--frozen in a standing posture, somersaulting in a wide arc over the highway.  Absurdly graceful.  It seemed like slow motion, but that may be just a trick of my memory.
