When Milca and I started going out I noticed a sign on a pole as we got closer to her house. This sign is at the top of a hill, as ou’re coming down the other side of the hill, and the sign said, “5 Dead This Year, Slow Down.” I thought, shit, I better slow down!!. Good safety tip, of course, but it’s not your standard road sign, you know? This was more than two yeard ago… so the questions start.
If this sign is up longer than a year, than it means that at some point more people are dying. It doesn’t say, “5 people per year,” it’s “this.” This negates the possibilty of an average, this is a total count. There are two theories on the table to date.
1) Every 73 days or so, a ritual sacrifice is done on the road.
2) An annual sacrifice of 5 people is done on New Years day.
Either case is slightly diturbing, hence the sign is disturbing. Every day as I drive home, it’s disturbing.
