Dog’s 2 ticks
Monday, August 13, 2007This story happened when I was in college.
The avenue is one of the busy roads during daytime within the city. Along that long road lies a public cemetery and like any other cemetery, it is cold and lonely especially in the middle of the night.
A friend of mine was suffering a broken heart when his girlfriend eloped with another guy. As a breather, he found himself alone and lonely walking along the avenue. It was almost midnight and it was cold, thanks to the heavy rains that evening. There was no one except for one or two cars passed with great speed.
Rain started to pour again and no PUJs were in sight. He ran to the nearest waiting shed, the one nearer to the cemetery gate. He stood there waiting for the rain to stop or PUJ to pass by, whichever comes first. In his peripheral vision, he saw someone near the gate. He felt a chill in his neck. He tried to ignore what he saw and the fear that started to build up.
In seconds, he sensed something bearing on his left side. He took a deep breath and finally looked. There she was, few inches from his face. Her eyes looked directly into his. It was the loneliest eyes he ever saw!
