Strange trip to work this morning
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2007 8:25 am
I had the weirdest morning. I was coming to work and my office is close to several doctors offices and the 2 main hospitals in this area. We are not far from Duke by air so there is also a lot of work going on with them. So it is not uncommon to see a couple rescue trucks or ambulances every day come in and out of the area.
Well I was a few blocks from my office this morning and nearing a red light. As my light turned green, there was an ambulance cut onto the road trying to beat the red light. I am a safe driver so I just applied the brakes and let the ambulance through. It was not running lights or anything.
When the truck whipped into my lane, one of the rear doors flew open and a box rolled out onto the street. They were none the wiser and just kept rolling. I flashed my lights but they did not notice before the back door slammed shut. So I pulled over and got the box out of the road. It was 8 inches square and made of aluminum so I am thinking mini-btx project or something. It was very cold so I opened it to check it out. It was like a horor show, a fog raised out of the box and I could not see anything. But I knew there was something there and did not know if I wanted to see it or not.
As the fog cleared from the box, I noticed something in the bottom of the box. It was getting clearer and clearer as the fog thinned. Then it was there, plain as the nose on my face. It was a severed toe laying in some dry ice.
Strangest thing I ever saw laying in the middle of the road.
