I’ve commented in the past about how the hallway in the apartment building tends to smell funny. It never smells pleasant like the adjacent building. (I swear, that one smells like flowers.) Typical odors- ass, spaghetti, asian food, fish, crotch and any various combination of those.
But today is the worst smell of all.
I walked out of the apt on my way to work and was hit with it. I returned three hours later and the smell was still there. Two hours after that, I returned (again) and the smell was STILL there.
Then I started thinking…that smell…reminds me of something. But what? Garbage perhaps. Ah no… it could possibly be the distinct odor of decomposition.
I started thinking which one of my neighbors I haven’t seen in a while, but then I realized we’re not exactly a social able bunch to begin with. (In other words, I’ve seen maybe 1 of them in the past 3 days.)
I’m tempted to ask the manager to do a body check to make sure no one is…well…you know. Cause that smell will not go away. Reminds me of the time my dad decided to dispose of a dead critter temporarily directly under my bedroom window, which was opened and had a fan blowing in. Nasty.
In the meantime, I can only speculate.
