real life zombies

So a rather disturbing incident occurred on monday.  (I know, its friday, but it was really disturbing!)  Myself, ray ray and shooter were on a mission to get some supplies for a little monday afternoon champagne brunch. (thats just how i roll)  We had spent the night at Phyllis' musical inn on Division.  Its super divey, but loveable.  The patio is covered in lawn gnomes, and they have a ping pong table (which i am amazing at by the way)  the bartender even came out for a while to watch the sara-shooter ping pong championship.  We closed the bar out, and somehow ended up in a Ukranian village 24-hour laundromat drinking beers at 3am.  

but i digress, we were walking in search of brunch.  As we were walking, we noticed a body lying across some porch stairs.  They were wearing a hood and all you could see was their mouth which was slightly open.  They looked pretty dead.  We decided to finish our errand and check on the way back to see if the person had moved.  we were gone for an hour, and when we got back, the body hadnt moved at all.  I dont know which is more disturbing, the fact that we were staring at a most likely dead body, or the fact that no one had done anything in over an hour.  (this was a fairly busy street, in a relatively nice area!)  The person was dressed rather shabbily, but it could have easily been a poor fashion sense, because the clothes were just plain, not ratty.  We tried startling the body awake, but there was no response.  It also smelled.  like really really smelled.  We wound up calling the police to come take care of the situation, seeing as how we are were totally unequipped to deal with a dead body.  

All in all, it was slightly sombering.  I suppose there are worse ways to die though, like being eaten by a zombie shark.........
