ODed

Walking home from m terrible Amtrak ride, I found someone who had an infinitely worse day. He was being wheeled out of his house in a body bag. At first I didn't really understand what was going on. From a distance I thought I was just seeing a couple of movers, but I found it odd the neighbors were watching. As I got closer I saw they were moving whatever it was onto a gurney. After I realized I had just seen a dead body, my first thought was it was an older person. But I was soon to learn this thought too was wrong after my downstairs neighbors got a text message from our police officer next door neighbor which read, 'our neighbor ODed.' So I guess it was a pretty young person. It was very strange to see something like that so close up, but when you do it really serves a reminder of how fragile we all are.
