      Like anything that has life, there’s stages to death. Like the bloating and rotting, followed by the eventual popping of the corpse as the gasses that have been building up inside bursts out. Followed by the scavengers who will pick the corpse clean.

        Sometimes some selfish little fucker will just swipe the whole thing. I had a mole decomposing on my driveway all week, and suddenly Sunday morning it’s just gone! You can’t even tell it was there.

            TBF I initially just left it there because I figured that whatever predator had dropped it would come back, or some scavenger would appreciate the fresh kill. It was already well into decomposition before it vanished, so I’m really curious who likes well-aged mole covered in ants.

                My security camera did not pick up anybody entering my property through the gate that separates the mole graveyard half of my driveway from the front.

                  Then it must be a creature of some sort… maybe a scavenger of some sort… who knows…

                  To be honest, I’m not the type of guy to dwell on these sorts of mysteries, I would be like “huh, that’s odd… oh well” and then just keep doing whatever it is I was doing. My wife is more that sort of type, even to the point where she would do a night watch… pisses me off 😒.
