Dead Man Walking
U/MartFartShart: “This happened years ago, when I was maybe eight or nine years old. My dad had taken me for a walk in the woods close to our lodging when I was on vacation with him at the time. After entering fairly far, we noticed this man lying on the ground with his face down. My father assumed at first that this man was dead because he wasn’t moving.When the man on the ground gets up and turns to face us, my dad begins to reach into his pocket.
His garments had dark stains that, looking back, I believe might have been blood. This is the first instance I can recall in my life where my father is utterly dumbfounded.The man then runs off into the woods after screaming, “You’ve got a dead man on your hands.” He contacted the cops as soon as we departed.
