Dead Man Walking

2 Dec

If you follow me on Twitter or Plurk, you probably read that I thought I saw a dead body on the side of the road on my way to work this morning. (Well, I do work in the hood, remember?)  Thankfully, when I stopped the car and went to investigate (Yes, I needed to know for sure that it wasn’t a dead student.), I discovered that it was a couple of very full trash bags covered with a tarp.  Believe it or not, I was quite disappointed, as I have always envisioned myself stumbling upon a rotting corpse much like the Stand by Me boys did.  Little did I know was that I would soon face a different form of a lifeless body within the hour.

To be continued …

    I’m glad it wasn’t a dead body! I can’t wait to hear what you did encounter though…

    Gah! You’re braver than I… I don’t think I would have had the moxie to go look.

    Thank heavens it wasn’t a dead body…

    And, no I wouldn’t have taken a look, I would have stood well back and reported my suspicion to the police…don’t do trauma…

    Oh I love a good mystery and btw when I saw your tweet yesterday, I immediately pictured you stopping your car and getting out to look! I’m impressed by how well I know you! :-D
