I have seen a lot in this city in the one short year I've lived here. Human feces on the steps to the EL twice in two weeks? Yep. Someone defecate in a train car at 9 am? Sure. A boy in a foam cylinder crouched on the ground with a hole for his head to pop in and out scaring people? Why not! All are disturbing, but what would city life be without weird stuff?
Yesterday when I left work I saw this tucked in the little alcove between our building and the one we're attached to. This is not just any wheelchair, it is one for a very large person. I looked around for someone who might be getting out of a car or trying to get up off the ground and saw nothing. I felt a bit creeped out and still do. The chair is still sitting there 30+ hours later. The following questions are running through my mind:
- Has the chair occupier been murdered?
- Are there limbs in the pile of leaves next to the chair?
- If the person is in fact alive, how are they getting around?
- Is this a case of elder abuse?
- Is someone coming for their chair?
- How do you misplace something like this?
- If no one comes back for the chair who will dispose of it?
- How long am I going to have to be creeped out by this chair below my window and each time I pass it?
- WTF?!?
is it bad that the first thing I wondered was how much you could get for it on CL?
