Zombies in the Industrial Area.

Zombies in the Industrial Area.

Feeling like a dead tire surrounded by heaps of rubbish and dozen scrap cars, I stood there on the dirt road notorious industrial area.

I cursed the moment I had decided to own a car in Qatar.
now have you ever heard of the saying " Blessings come alone, but trouble in a pack"!?

Because a few stray dogs had just started moving out from under abandoned cars, and suffering Cynophobia,
I began to shake in my boots.

after waiting for an hour and a half and no sign of a Karwa taxi coming my way, at this point I thought I had to take the bus, and so I began walking towards the bus stop which was ahead.

So there I was stranded in the middle of nowhere, at a dark, dead-car yard, on a dirty road.

As cars passed by I tired waving for them to stop,but no one stopped.

As being stuck in the middle of dirty industrial area after dark wasn't bad enough, I moved aside to call one of my friends to tell them my whereabouts and see if they could come pick me up, I started noticing that my battery was almost dead and the single on my screen was fading away!!! GREAT!

Stranded at night, with no one but a multitude of herpes infected dogs. They could have done anything to me!

minutes started feeling like days,standing there in the dirt road with mixed emotions of exhaustion, and possible mad dog bites )":

Finally small truck stops, I gasped and with trembling open the door.

and suddenly felt cold hard hands clawing at me. I tried to push and run away, but their grip was too tight. Slowly and slowly, I was pulled inside the truck. I could see pale white faces with sinister smile and gnaring teeth, red lips lined with sticky substance...oh what is that, is it ketchup..no it is ...it is..it is..BLOOD....Now, I can feel it...like hundreds of needles pricking inside my body. I felt as if i was being eaten inside out...but the a sudden solace...a sense of peace...I look with pleasure as atleast 25-30 of them were biting at various part of my body. But, why do I sense a belonging with them...a sense of identity...they were not them...I was one of them

"Hey, Whassup? Whayagoin?" A man greeted me with a smile that is not there.

"Oh, that freakin car broke down and ain't no brother to call fer help. 'Em crazy mutts lickin my car like damn fat Colonel Sander's chicken, yaknowhadamsayin?" , I replied.

"I'm sorry, I am not understanding anything that is coming from your mouth, sir. Can you speak slower?" His head bubbled as he replies.

I sighed. This is going to be a long night...

I find MN's plight to be a truly scary experience I would never wish to be a part of(Can dogs suffer Herpes too??? I mean Rabies is bad enough!)

And to think this must be a daily(and nightly) occurrence for many is truly distressing. Hope this part of town is among the areas looking at a facelift in the very near future.

Hope alls well with you now MN.. and hope you get your car back in excellent condition soon so you never have to go through such horrors again.

Atleast one to explain his ordeal and the miserables in Industrial area specially during night times. This is other side of ( Doha ) midnight ( deadly roads with front wheel deep holes ) if this is the situation during summer, imagine the winter and rainy days ahead.

Marco, don't compare it to grave yard, still prople live there. U think someone will look into it seriously, no !!!
