dead dog & dead man
first there was a stray dog, lying on its side, shivering, convulsing, seizing or freezing, am still not exactly too sure. A women stood next to me, said ‘this is what happens when they freeze to death.’ How do you help a stray dog?
15 minutes
second there was a man, lying on the ground, at the bus stop where I got off to work. Sprawled out like a starfish, not moving, two people guarding, blanket over his face, everybody staring. Wonder if he froze to death/had a heart attack/was drunk/got hit by a car. There was no blood then or on the ice afterwards when I walked by again and pointed the spot out to a friend. He said something like ‘You see, this isn’t really a good place to live.’
