I know we seem to have been having a lot of precipitation (rain) lately, but I didn't realize how much. When I awoke this morning, I went out for a jog. Lo and behold (stop and look; amazing sight), instead of the usual grass covered back yard, there was a great and tangled jungle. I knew it hadn't been there when I went to bed.
I tried to fight my way through it, in order to get to the street. It was very slow going. And there no longer was a street. Just more jungle. I heard a scream, and fought my way towards it, but I was too slow. I just managed to catch a glimpse of what must have been one of my neighbors being carried off by what looked like a dozen or so monkeys of some kind.
I heard someone else yelling, and headed in that direction through all the brush, vines and tree branches, as well as a lot of foliage of a type that I had never seen before. As I made my way in the direction I thought the yelling had come from, I heard all kinds of loud and strange sounds. Some I believe were birds, some type of monkeys, and only God knows what those other sounds were.
I didn't find the person who was yelling, but I did find an abandoned pizza delivery vehicle. It was completely surrounded by dense jungle. Impossibly, as if the jungle grew up all around the car. But luckily, it still had several pizzas in it. I grabbed what I could, and did my best to backtrack (follow the path I had left back to my door) myself home.
Unfortunately, I lost all but a couple of the pizzas when I heard what sounded like a big cat (tiger, lion, or maybe a leopard). In the subsequent (following) panicked crashing through this new sprung jungle, I was lucky to hang on to anything at all.
So, now I am holed up (hiding out) in my living room. Hopefully, some help will come along fairly soon. A lot of it.
I am considering moving to a large desert type area. As soon as I can safely get out of here.
