The S Files [10.3.08]

Today's observation was one of exceptional creepiness, as if it was a past episode on Unsolved Mysteries. Throughout the day, I had noticed a peculiar happening: everywhere I went, there were slugs. Everywhere. Of course, one could blame the weather, but in all honesty - how often do any of us come across a slug? Even if one was to assume that seeing a slug per day was a natural occurrence, more than one slug sighting would still be labeled as uncanny. If the day itself wasn't spooky enough, my walk to Blair was. My peripheral vision was lured to the sidewalk as I saw not one slug...but eleven. (Yes, I stood there and counted them.) It was as if the sheriff of Slugville had called a mandatory town meeting. After taking role, I traipsed over them like an oaf. Apparently, it was the day of the slug, and I just happened to miss the memo.
