The two junkies in the rain
juza2004: Hi Edwin, how are you today.
juza2004: Last night Johan and I went to the Tea Room for a beer.
juza2004: It started raining very hard when we noticed a couple of junkies, a man and a woman, staying in front of the bar.
juza2004: They were lying against the hood of someonelse's car, incapable of standing on their feet.
juza2004: Both of them must have been on drugs. But the woman looked worse than her companion.
juza2004: There was a pretty wide crowd of people outside the bar, trying to find some shelter from the rain under the roof overhang. Gradually, they became interested in what was happening.
juza2004: The woman looked as if she was under the effects of some poison that made her limbs numb.
juza2004: Apparently, she was still able to talk to her friend, but her eyes were clearly blind.
juza2004: She fell on the ground, and her friend helped her get up. Then she fell down again.
juza2004: The second time the woman fell, she scratched her knees on the wet sidewalk. She would wear a skirt and the blood from one of her hurt knees stained it.
juza2004: I asked the bouncer to call up an ambulance.
juza2004: In the pouring rain, the ambulance came a few minutes later and stopped in the middle of the street, blocking the cars that would come from behind. After a short argue with the man, the Croce Verde crew laid the woman on a stretcher, fastened a belt around her and quickly dragged her inside the back of the ambulance.
juza2004: Before she had disappeared behind the back door, I think I heard her mourning that she wanted to go home.
juza2004: The ambulance left with the blue lights flashing and the woman's friend stood on the sidewalk watching it go. Then he lit a sigarette.
juza2004: He had a smile on his face like as if behind that smile he could keep what was left of his dignity.
juza2004: When the woman fell on the sidewalk the first time, there was no trace of mercy inside of me. I just wanted to send those two away, far from my sight.
juza2004: And that is what I did, after the woman fell for the second time.
juza2004: Johan was paralyzed like most of the people outside the bar but he leaned down to help the woman the first time she fell. He did not say much.
juza2004: The rain quickly washed away the blood stains from the sidewalk, the people went back inside the bar and Johan and I rushed towards some other place.
