My daughter kept repeating the word danger as she looked out the window over our back yard. Someone had left the gate only part way hitched. Daughter is deathly afraid that her beloved Stanley will get out so I’m not surprised she had noticed this.
I figured when we took the tire off the truck and rolled it to the front to put in the other truck to get a replacement that someone had forgotten to latch the gate. I went outside to remedy the situation so she would stop shouting DANGER.
When I got outside I noticed a few kids walking through the alley. Nice looking kids, young women actually, looking around. And then suddenly there were at least twenty of these kids entering the backyards of all my neighbors. Had it been cloudy out I would have thought someone was filming a zombie movie or that I was actually having a zombie invasion. It was a little odd to say the least.
No one said anything to me they just walked in a line through the backyards and out through the front yards and continued on across the street. WTF?
I cornered my son’s friend who was playing basketball in the alley and asked him what was going on.
Yesterday morning a student from the University of St. Thomas went missing and they were all searching for him. You can read the story here.
The kid was near the Mississippi river which isn’t too far from my house. Sadly this is not the first time a student has left a party drunk and ended up in the river. Hopefully they will find him though I doubt it will be in anyone’s backyard. Certainly not in my neighborhood where everyone has a dog or two. If that had been the case he would have been found by now.
I’m not making fun of the missing student or the search that is going on as I type this. I do think they are looking in the wrong area but what do I know? I hope they find him.
Oh wow How scary is that? I do hope they find him
Good for you for spreading the word
Scary stuff indeed. I read the story you linked to. How frightening his phone started going out and then nothing. His parents and friends must be going out of their minds. Hope he’s found “sleeping something off” as the paper suggested, and nothing more.
Oh dear. I hope he’s okay.
That would be pretty weird, seeing all those people. I will now go to bed with the image in my brain, and have awful dreams all night long. Good night.
That stuff happens on the Wisconsin side of the river too.
Weird stuff.
Oh, one of those surreal moments where, if you were from Minnesota, you’d say, “Well. That’s different.”
Here’s hoping the thing comes to a positive resolution for the fellow and there’s no more need for zombie hoards.
I am very sorry this child is missing. Alcohol and rivers are not a good combination. I hope they do find him and alive at that.
That’s crazy shit. I take anything zombie related very seriously. It’s when you take these situations for granted that you wind up fucked. I would lock up that gate pronto and keep the kids out of the yard. “When there’s no more room in hell, the dead shall walk the earth…”
