I'm a horrible person. I was walking around this afternoon. I seem to be in the midst of a allergy attack. It's a little odd since I don't usually have allergies at all. Anyway, I was carrying some bags because as I walking around I bought some food. I was walking home, when these two people came running out of their house carrying what looked to be an unconscious child. He was blue in the face. There was another person standing there, a passerby, she was calling 911.
I just walked away. I don't know the etiquette for these things. I mean, there was nothing I could do, I don't know CPR and 911 was already being called. I still feel like I did something morally wrong by just walking away. What could I have done? I have no idea. Was I supposed to try to offer support to hyspterical people I don't know?
What I do know is that I will never get the image of the suffocating child out my head. It was the singularly most disturbing thing I have wittnesed in my life.
I'm disgusting.
