In the Continuing Saga of the Creepy Woods, I was at my parents’ for dinner tonight and my mother said something casual to her friend about “the corpse in the woods” and i said “what corpse in the woods” and they didn’t hear me and kept talking “oh that poor fellow” “there was another one I heard” “yes the roommate walked in just after the murder so they killed him too” “but what idiots to dump the body out there, it’s not that deserted an area” and I’m like “corpse in WHAT woods” and my dad chimes in “out by the farm” and I’m like “wHAt farm”
Long story short there was a pair of murders down in the city, and the perpetrators brought the body of the first victim out and dumped it about a mile from the farm. And it’s obvious that they weren’t from around here, so they just drove for a while until they thought they were way out in the country, not really realizing that Rte 2 is a major highway and goes through several townships straight through to the Vermont border and there’s towns over there too, it’s not really actually all that rural. And in fact the body was discovered pretty much immediately by a woman walking her dog, because it was in a ravine right near her house.
Anyway. That’s just across the street from where I live in a canvas shack in the woods by myself next to a creepy weird thing someone randomly made out of sticks and nobody who lives here knows who made it. (Did I say? The latest theory is that it was some kids whose dad was hunting on the property. Still creepy though!)
So. An added dimension to the creepy factor of sleeping alone in the woods: murder victims. Last week, apparently.
Aw fuck why did I look it up? Now they say the guy wasn’t dead when they drove him out here, they finished him off right near the farm and then threw his body in the creek. So he actually got murdered right over there. Great. Great!
I mean. Clearly this was not local business and not something I would get involved in. But really. Ugh. Ugh. Great. Just what I needed.
