A blood splattered paradise

 Its a quarter to six and its already pitch dark and I'm wondering just how to explain the gravity of what ive heard has happened over the summer in my area. Its been a very cold gloomy one with dull depressing evenings and no summer bounce, or feel good factor to bolster our mood after a dreary winter and spring. And then there have been the terrible accidents that are horrific and seem to be building in intensity. 

The first one that really shocked me was the death of a visitor on a local road. in July. It seemed like a freak accident. He rounded a bend just as a tree fell and it pierced his windscreen killing him instantly. Well it was windy weather I thought so its probably just a chance happening and thought no more of it despite being disturbed by it. I suppose it could have happened to anyone.

Next came the deaths of two people at a notorious motorway junction. Vehicles constantly do not give way after failing to realize the motorway exit slip road is joining a main road at a 90 degree angle.. A bus hit a passing car pushing it into the path of a motorbike, and you can guess the outcome of that. Wagons fail to give way often here and its all a game of Russian roulette, literally. Well it is a bad junction so maybe its going to happen once in a while.

Then things got worse, much worse. A few weeks ago a man drove up the wrong side of the motorway, entering at this notorious junction and collided with a car carrying a family of four. They all died ,and the driver of the car who made the fatal mistake too. That was five violent deaths that resulted from a fire ball that engulfed the wreckage such was the power of the impact. It made the national news. The mind just boggles to work out how such a stupid accident could happen. That was a worrying and shocking one. The random event that could snuff you out without warning or reason.

The final disaster so far this year and I say so far, happened just this week. A woman was chopped clean in two at an Asda store. The cause was a delivery wagon at the unloading docks. Its really over kill, surely ? After all thats happened this summer its almost as though something wants attention. Some dark force ? I dont know but none of this feels natural at all.

This is all happened against the background of constant accidents that happen on the M6 within 10 miles of this junction which is called number 37. There are accidents every week. Lorries over turning, fires ect. Its quite normal to see a closure at a weekend and an air ambulance arriving. I think the area is cursed or maybe is on a ley line ? Its all getting ridiculous and very worrying. 

When I look around this area its beautiful but very dark and very dangerous. It seems to be those passing through the area that seem to bare the brunt of it all. Ive only mentioned incidents that have occurred this year otherwise I could write a book.
