“Dude crawls out of the back seat with blood everywhere.
Got closer and realized his skin was pale/blue and he was covered in his own vomit.
He had overdosed and decided to go out while watching Guardians of the Galaxy.

She was conscious and mad as hell.

I found my friends dead body inside of his bedroom
Junior high school.
Was supposed to meet my buddy Nick at the swimming pool.

He didnt show, so I walked the three blocks to his house to yell at him.
His mom let me in and I walked up to his room and opened the door.
Found him hanging from a belt tied to his ceiling fan.

One image, the strongest, is a sea of legs, all running in confusion.
Being little, that was my perspective.
The emotion was pure terror.
The other image is a column of pitch black smoke.
From my vantage point, it appeared to be coming from the top of the control tower.
The emotion there was puzzlement, wondering why this big tall building was on fire.

Luckily we got him to thehospitalin time.
Thankfully it was wet enough that the fire didnt spread.
Ever since then Ive also got a fire extinguisher in all my vehicles!
Guy came in, your normal looking guy.
No bad vibes, etc…
This was many years ago.
I was in the lobby cleaning up.
that I was training came up and took his order.
I was chit chatting with him while his order was being made.
When it was done, Jeff (asst.
came up and said thatll be $2.07.
Robber pulls out a $10 and Jeff opens drawer.
Robber pulls gun and points it at me.
He says, Do you know what this is?
Im in shock, and I specifically remember thinking, Yeah, its a gun…so what.
He says again, Bitch!
Do you know what this is?!?
Then, Im like, Oh shit!
Its a GUN!!
He grabs me, gun to my head and we go behind the counter.
I pop launch the cash drawer and empty it for him.
He tells me to fire up the safe.
I explain theres two parts.
He has me bring up the easy one.
I believe at this point were about to die.
Weve all see his face for ten minutes easily and can describe him in detail.
I get goosebumps every time I think about when it happened.
Robber left and didnt harm us.
What did Hungry Howies do to help us through this trauma?
They wanted to fire me for making it unsafe for future employees because I opened the safe.
My supervisor threatened to walk out and quit if they did that.
So instead, theyonlysuspended me for two weeks.
Needless to say, as soon as I could find another job, I quit there.

Probably no more than 15 yards away from me.
Apparently the shooter thought the guy was a space alien.

Truck hit him ripped his face skin right off.
Ive never have and never will see anything as scary as a face with no skin.

I witnessed the aftermath of a murder
Murder.
Was having a beer with a dude that hung around a bar I frequented.
As backstory, there were a ton of dudes that hung out and the block slinging weed.
They would ask passerbys and if you said no, they would tell you to have a nice day.
Surprisingly upstanding for my mental image of dealers.
After a while I knew most of them by name because I hung at the bar often enough.
They even protected me when I got jumped by a random.
Hed been stabbed in the abdomen, punctured lung.
Pronounced dead at the scene.
It was a surreal moment.
Dont deal drugs kids.

I saw a dead body dumped beneath an underpass
Dead body.
Walking under an underpass one day.
Normal route, quiet neighborhood.
I brush a paper and, Oh a leg, probably some sad homeless guy.
Best let him sleep.
Oh… whats that?
Its red all over and OH SHIT.
Some dude had been shot and dumped there the night before.

It happened so fast and he just disappeared.
There were quite a few people in the station who were in shock, some were crying.
I still think about it to this day.

I was at mall in Halifax, NS.
This was in 2015.
It really puts things into perspective.

When I did finally have my period, a greyish, veiny membrane came out.
It seriously looked like an alien or something out of a horror movie.
It gave me a new appreciation for what women who have miscarriages or do at home abortions go through.

Its super close to the town, but usually no one goes there because the hike is pretty difficult.
But then we kept going and got to a good spot to rest.
We hiked further up the trail to find another backpack with several coats strewn about on the ground.
The backpack was 100% full to bursting.
We didnt look inside, I didnt want to know what was in there.
By this point Im starting to feel a little wary.
It was a lot of stuff.
Like, it would take probably 10 people to haul all that shit up this steep ass trail.
Or 1 person ten trips up, either way, weird.
Looked like a military ammo case and several big back packs all completely full of something.
And those things were piled on top of some other stuff in bags that I couldnt make out.
Big old pile of random stuff.
For some reason seeing this pile of stuff set off some warning signals in my brain.
I came around a corner, stopped and seconds later, it suddenly became real fucking quiet.
All the birds stopped chirping, all the animals became dead silent out of no where.
My friend called out hello, is anyone there?
I made the executive decision that we were going to turn around and leave.
Something weird was going down in that canyon and I didnotwant to find out what lol.
Like what is the purpose of this?
Andstill, no one was reacting.
It turns out to have been a hydro vault explosion due to faulty wiring.
I walked home and was shaking the whole time.

I gave them the one I was going to rent and they were so happy.
The excitement on their faces made my day.
My friend and I go to another bike rack like 1/4 of the mile away and get two bikes.
Apparently the brakes on the rented bikes didnt work and this person got hit by a garbage truck.
Honestly, the scene of the accident made it very clear she wasnt going to survive.
It was really bad.
That has fucked with me for awhile because that was supposed to be MY bike.
I was supposed to get the bike with the non-functioning brakes.
In what was an act of kindness on my part was the demise of that beautiful couple.
What would have happened if I never gave my bike away?
Would I have gotten hit by that garbage truck?

I looked older and no one actually asked for my age or academic credentials, which admittedly was weird.
I got assigned to an outpatient site visit team.
The first month I was there we went out to see a dude who had not been checking in.
He was dead and thoroughly eaten by his hoarded cats.
Wife was long gone and collecting his disability cheques.
Not sure it was scary, but certainly was the grossest thing Ive seen.

I saw a mans eye dangling out of his socket
Came upon a car accident and went to help.
Upside down car with wheels still spinning.
Dude crawls out of the back seat with blood everywhere.
He looks up at me and his eye is hanging out by the nerve and rolling around his cheek.

Big cloud of car parts explodes into the air, the small car spins violently into the ditch.
Instinctively I jump out and run to the small car, shouting at another motorist to call 911.
I look in whats left of the car and cant find the driver.
Confused, I look around, and see him in the ditch.
I run over, check his carotid pulse, but nothing.
I step back and its only then that I realize that his arm is missing.
His leg is missing.
They shut the highway down for 8 hours investigating the scene.
The image of his mangled body hasnt faded though.

She tried to stand up but ended up falling to the ground and violently shaking.
And of course I was a helpless idiot and had no idea what to do.
