The LIFELESS body in the window

I saw a lifeless body pressed up against an apartment window while driving home from work and I’m not too sure what to think of it. It was about a week ago, I was driving home on my usual route; me zoned out allowing my subconscious to guide me and it wasn’t until a red light stopped me, that’s when I saw it. There was mid-rise apartment complex on the corner of an intersection; an intersection I usually ignore but for some reason that day the red light took longer than usual; well it seemed to. My senses gradually returned to me after an hour of mind numbing driving, I let out a heavy exhale, me sitting there being impatient since I still had another 30 minutes ahead of me. So as I waited for the light to turn I started to look around, nothing seemed out of the ordinary people walking along the sidewalk carrying on with their day to day lives; boring I thought, so I started to look up. My eyes scanned each window, not really anticipating anything of excitement, my music blasting in the background, I could feel my thoughts beginning to wander once again that was until my eyes passed it, and it took my brain a few seconds to register what I just saw.

“Wait, what the hell” I said to myself.

My eyes quickly backtracked to the last window, I paused on it with utter confoundment; it couldn’t be what I thought it was; was it? I squinted my eyes trying get a better view…
