I have to write this quickly and hope that someone will believe me! Cuz I didn't do this!
So, there are sometimes these piles of garbage and stuff that people leave outside their house on the side of the road, right? It's right next to where they leave their garbage cans. Everything they leave out there is free for the taking. It's brilliant, a perfect way to get some stuff like furniture or rugs or books that other people don't want.
And everything seemed perfectly normal when we pulled up. There were a bunch of rugs that were rolled up tight. I saw them and thought they would look cute in my new apartment. I didn't have much to furnish the place, so i needed to get some rugs and chairs and stuff. And I figured the rugs would help tie the rooms together. So I stopped and picked them up.
But the rugs were a little heavier than they seemed. I hoisted them in to my back seat one at a time. They were some brutal things to move, but I somehow managed.
Not long after, I got home and had to get them out and drag each one of these rolled up rugs to my apartment. I figured I couldn't do it on my own, so I knocked on the door of my neighbor, We weren't exactly friends but we went to the same school together. I told him my situation and he offered to help me.

We unraveled the next ones and there were different body parts inside. Another leg. Arms. A torso. He and I were horrified by what we saw. There was one last rug. We slowly unrolled it. It was a human head.
The shadows crept in through the window is the dark clouds overtook the mid-afternoon sky. A feeling of dread and hopelessness flooded me, tying my stomach into a knot. Looking at the clouds, I saw a streak of purple lightning streaking across the sky until it crashed down somewhere along the skyline with a thunderous boom, followed shortly by the ground rumbling beneath my feet. It was jarring. what started as a regular summer afternoon was quickly turning into something dreadful. The nearby trees were all swaying lightly in the breeze as rain gradually started pouring down, eventually creating a curtain of turrential downpour that threatened to flood the streets. Another flash of light followed by another thunderous boom forced me to look away from the window. It was becoming far too real for me. The oncoming storm was becoming too much to bear. I walked back into my bedroom and sat in front of my television. There was a news guy standing before a weather map. He was po...
