... in Chilliwack.

Well, let's start with the big fat shirtless guy holding a katana by the sheathe in his hand, who walked out from beside a building, saw me walking toward him, and then walked back around the side of the building.

This was going toward the intersection on Young toward Central. At first all i could tell was that it was a big fat shirtless guy, bald or balding, holding a long club/stick/thing, (which made me a little bit nervous) but as i got closer i recognized the signature curve of a katana (aka, samurai sword), in a black sheathe. As i walked by the side of that building, i gave it a wide birth - who knew if he might decide to just slash his arm out as i got there and decapitate me - but nothing happened, i didn't see him, nor did i try to look. I just walked by - i'm not exactly a regular looking fellow, myself. Though the big yellow subway shirt kinda takes away from my semi-street rat look, heh.

But i bet he was just possibly drunk or high, and wanted to do something silly, with no real ill intent, and felt kinda like a caught idiot when i walked there. I mean, what scummy street criminal actually has a katana? Probably very very few - but a few nerdy sword collecters just might, and i bet that's what he was.
I know that caught-idiot feeling, though, since i used to do silly things late at night, like, oh, taking naked jogs around my neighborhood.

Anyway, next, as i turned down Chilliwack Central Rd. i could see a small dark form in the middle of the street, but couldn't quite tell what it was, since the street lights didn't really reach to that part of the street. But i had a suspicion and i was right. As i got closer, i saw a little arm stretched upward, the paw bent to the side above the body of a poor run-over cat. I muttered sadly, "poor kitty" and walked on by. That kinda thing breaks my heart. But it also was very strange how the cat's arm was poised straight up - for a bit before i figured it out, i thought it was the tail of a living cat, just sitting in the middle of the road for some reason, until i saw the unmoving twisted form.

Then, the next thing i saw, which doesn't really count since i saw it first yesterday while walking with Sarah, was the severed head of a crow, with a short protrusion of neck/spine bones.

Truly this was a night i really really wish i had brought my camera with me.

If i believed in evil forces, i'd think that corner was haunted, or was a nerve center for evil, since also beside the building that the fat katana guy walked out from beside, was a dead rat, that i also saw yesterday while walking.

Man, i wish i had weed to smoke before i started walking home - all this would have been way trippier than it already was! Hell, i don't need it, but it would have been fun or ultra creepy anyway.

But you know what the REALLY twisted thing is? I actually missed the times in St. John's, walking up-hill both ways from my apartment to the call center while i was living there ...
