Lizard

I can't get over the image I have of a writhing mass Of limbs under our cycles.
My dad and I ran over a monitor lizard yesterday. It shocked us completely. But it got away. No trace of blood or anything. I've never had an encounter like that before. It dashed out suddenly right at my father's wheels as he was talking to me while cycling. I was too near him. I saw it before him and screamed. Then it ran right in front of me and I couldn't stop or turn away or stop screamimg.
I pray to god it's ok.
I went back to check on it, thinking I could call acres if it was hurt but I could see no sign of it.
We are lucky it didnt  attack my dad. It could have lashed out at his foot.
Sigh.
How awful.
