Coffin with Corpse Inside -- You've Been Warned

OK, so it’s not a real corpse. But the coffin is real nonetheless. This was on 42nd Street today near the corner of Madison. Sorry I forgot to ask what it was about.

The coffin was also there last Friday but being that I was in a rush to catch my ride home, I didn’t have time to snap a photo and was regretting it on the way home. Good thing it’s running again.

It’s funny how the sight of a coffin can trigger an emotional response. Last Friday while I was walking hurriedly past it, I barely had time to recognize the blur in front of me. Microseconds later when my brain finally processed what it was, it was also the moment my eyes laid sight on the “corpse” inside. For a brief flash I was, to put it mildly, jarred and shocked to my bones.

Good thing no one I know saw me. Because, literally, I would have looked like a man who had just seen a corpse.
