“This is where dad burried the little raccoon.
I don't even know he existed a few days ago and now he's gone forever. It's like I found him for no reason. I had to say good-bye as soon as I said hello.
Still...in a sad, awful, terrible way, I'm happy I met him.
What a stupid world.”
― Bill Watterson, Something Under the Bed is Drooling
