The Crosswalk

Yesterday I saw something weird when I was stopped at a red light in the crosswalk to my left.

It looked like someone wearing a cape.

I thought it was a homeless person- a tall homeless person- and his head was shaped funny. I thought maybe he had the blanket ( cape? ) draped over his head  and that’s why he looked odd.

I turned my eyes toward the traffic light and when I glanced back into the crosswalk he was gone.

Today I was driving home from work and couldn’t cross through the intersection because there were emergency vehicles there.

My neighbor told me someone had died while they were driving down the hill and their car had collided with the cars in front of it.

I’ve been avoiding that intersection.

To be honest, I’m scared to drive through it now.
