Leave it be







Why do people always trash abandoned sites?

The slaughter house

Since I had no work today I decided to do a thing I have been wanting to do for at least half a year. In all this time I have never seemed to find the right moment or maybe I was just too lazy to actually start finding out how to get there.

I visited an abandoned slaughter house. 

I was looking forward to it and was a little discouraged when I saw all the bolts and locks they had put on the gates, but never the less I kept going hoping to find a way in.
As I walked along the fence I looked at all the things. Weed growing everywhere the greyish snow giving the whole scenery a very gloomy and sinister look. I was about to give up on getting inside when I saw a house to the left of the factory. I decided to take a look at it. Mostly it reminded me of some 70's house with those fancy ovals in different colors. The door was locked, but the back doors were not. I didn't step inside though.

I went on back to the factory through the woods since I like the woods and wanted to walk in those too. As I reached an entrance farthest from the main entrance a guy came out from the woods. I wondered what he was doing there and why he had gone through the woods, but I really didn't care much. It turned out he just went this way to take a short cut across the rails. Who knew.

Finally at the last gates I found a whole in the fence and climbed through.

I was inside. The thing I had dreamt about doing I was in fact doing. And I wasn't alone. I had brought my dog along just for the fun and to have a little company. I like his company when exploring new places. This place he just didn't seem to like. I don't know if he could sense all the killing and death which had occupied the rooms, but he seemed very uneasy when we stepped into the first room.

It was gigantic! I kept to the rooms closest to the light since I hadn't taken my flashlight out and even in those rooms I got the creeps. The entire place was leaking and big pools of water had assembled on the floors.
But even though it was creepy I had to explore it. Many people before I had been there and taken their sweet time painting the walls with graffiti.

Next time I visit I should bring another human being and maybe go upstairs.
