Unnoticed

As always, stories like this bring me out in shivers.

Basically, a priest who had been reported as ‘missing’ has been found, dead. Dead in a supermarket carpark, slumped over the driving wheel of his car.  The police now believe he might have been there for three damn days – and no-one noticed.

That’s what does me – that no-one’s noticed, no-one’s realised. For three damn days.

How? If I were to see someone slumped over their driving wheel, I’d at least check – whether it’s by tapping on the window or something else. If there’s no response, the very fucking least I’d do is make sure that the store were aware, and depending on how things go, probably call the police/ambulance as a bare minimum.

How did no-one at the store itself notice? One care, parked in one place for three damn days – with someone in it? You’d think that right then they’d check it out. But no.

People piss me off sometimes.
