Literally.
As Andrew, Clover, and I were walking out of the Nuart after seeing Absurdistan (great film!) Friday night, we noticed there were pools of red liquid on the wet sidewalk. The first thing that came to mind was blood, then I figured it must have been a spilt red-colored drink. As we walked a couple more feet, I suddenly noticed that there was a huge car accident on the street corner. There were some badly wrecked cars, but no sign of anyone hurt, just a crowd of people and officers writing papers. At that moment, the blood possibility almost became certain in my mind.
The next day, Saturday night (tonight, as I write this), driving on I-5 after seeing Coraline (an even greater film!), my car suddenly passed through what looked like a whole pile of intestines, brains, body parts, and lots and lots of blood. I was totally freaked out as to what I saw. Driving to school twice to four times a week on the 126, I see lots of dead animals lying on the road, and even though I cringe at the sight (from the fact that it is disgusting and it's the loss of a life), it's still nothing than what I saw tonight; at least I know they were dead animals. What I saw tonight looked much bigger than an average cat or dog, even though it was scattered into more pieces than what normally occurs in road kill (which is often just the dead body and a few scattered pieces). And because of the rain, it was all super bright red. It was scary. In my mind, it could've been an actual human being. Or a spilled pile of meat. I dunno.

Maybe I should stop watching movies.
