An opposum was in my back yard

I opened my back door, like I do so often at night, and took a breath of fresh air. In the darkness, I heard a scuffling of leaves and I figured it was one of those fuckin squirrels that rummage around like little hyper-paranoid crack addicts looking for berries and nuts. But after my eyes adjusted, I saw the silhouette of a creature much larger than a squirrel.

Normally, this wouldn't bother me, but it was only about four feet away from me. It didn't bolt, so I thought maybe one of the neighborhood stray cats wandered in. But as my eyes adjusted, I saw the beady little eyes and the sharp snout. It's mouth was slightly open, it looked it was about to pounce on me. I don't really like rabies.

So i just my screen door. It looked away from me and started walking away, which pissed me off. It was like mocking me. It was basically saying, yea, that's right, you close that door, I own this yard tonight, bitch.

So I opened the screen door slightly, and pounded on the metal frame. It got shook. It didn't run. I was losing.

Anticlimatically, it eventually wandered out of my field of vision and I couldn't hear it anymore.

There really isn't a point to any of this.
