found a body...
After watching the old texas chain saw massacre with my policeman ex and his female housemate, he decided that it would be a good idea to go for a walk, in the pitch dark along the river by this flat.

I hate the dark at the best of times, but this pathway had the river on one side and foilage and train tracks on the other. (With no bloody streetlamps) Strangly enough there is a random house before the path ends - looks like it shouldn't be there, there are also bars on the window - very scary.

As we were walking along the path, my ex was scaring us by joking that we were going to be sliced and diced by the occupants of this house. i was already scared by nothing prepared me for what happened next...

next thing i know his female housemate has stopped in her tracks - whats that on the edge of the path... it was a body!
i've never been so scared before in my life, thinking that perhaps the 'dead' man was a trap so the peope in the house can come out and butcher us!

next thing i know my policeman ex is poking it asking him if hes ok... to which he replies with a grunt. ex then decides that as he is off duty its too much hassle to deal with and starts to walk off....
we follow, but have to go back that way to get home - ex decides if he is still there when we come back he will do something.

cut a long story short the man hasnt moved. friend and i have to walk along path to wait for ambulance. Ex discovered the man discharged himself from the local mental hospital and had decided to take all his medication with a bottle of brandy and felt sleepy....

lesson learnt: never watch a scary film and go walking down dark paths at night!
