i think i'm losing it

something really fucked up happened today and i don't know how to process it.

i was at the coffee shop this afternoon. sitting by the window working on a layout. and i saw something outside.

i don't even know how to describe it. it looked like an animal? but wrong. all wrong. the proportions were off. it moved in a way that didn't make sense. like its joints bent in directions they shouldn't.

it was just. there. in the middle of the street.

i looked around to see if anyone else was seeing this. a few people glanced at it. most people just. walked past it. like it was a dog or something normal.

i went outside. got closer. it was making this sound. not quite crying. not quite anything i've heard before.

this woman walked past me and said very calmly "oh, how unusual" and kept walking.

FUCKING UNUSUAL??

then this van showed up. white. no markings. two people in hazmat-type suits got out. they had this equipment. they. collected it. put it in a container. loaded it in the van. left.

the whole thing took maybe five minutes.

i asked the barista if she saw that and she said "saw what?"

I SAW WHAT.

the THING. in the STREET.

she just looked confused.

i feel insane. i FEEL insane.

but i saw it. i know i saw it.
