so. i've been sitting on our porch for the last couple hours, watching weeds on the computer.
i hear someone in the alley trying to start their car. the sound the car makes when the battery is dead & its not going anywhere. it tries a second time, but this time, it keeps going. i look behind me to see if i can tell where its coming from, out of curiosity. nothing. it doesnt stop. after about 30 seconds, i open the porch door & look around. theres smoke & flames in my garage [we dont use the garage. its got my landlords [who is my neighbor] motorcycles & tools in it.
i ran over to ed's house & yelled for him through his back door. no answer, but his car is there. so i ran over to my house, almost calling 911, but used the intercom instead. [we have a handy intercom that goes from our house to ed's, in case we need him] i told him theres a fire in the garage. before i could make it outside, hes running across my lawn into the garage, screaming "FUCK" at the top of his lungs.
i grabbed the hose at his orders, & he puts the fire out. it was his motorcycle in flames. somehow, it tried to start itself? i dont know what happened or what caused it. but the motorcycle caught on fire all alone in the garage after trying to start itself. our garage door was down & i never saw a single person go in there the whole time i've been out hre. he put the fire out & kept screaming "fuck". i went inside & called rachael to tell her what happened. the whole phone conversation, i could hear ed outside on the phone, screaming at the top of his lungs at someone on the phone.
i have noooo idea what just happened, but i'm freaked the fuck out. & definitely do not want to even go near ed in the next day or two. hes terrifying when he's pissed. although, if i hadnt been out here, or even not home at all, the whole motorcycle would have burned, probably taking the garage with it. who knows how long it would have been until someone noticed there was even a fire.
i do want to know how the fuck it happened though.
