After lunch, I realised that I had forgotten something in town, and left my son asleep in his fathers care and returned to town. We only lived 10 minutes walk from town, whichever way we went and I knew it would be a case of popping to the shop, buying what I needed and returning home, before my son woke up. I went up Brunswick Hill. After the second set of steps and onto the hill, the area went dark, like it was night time. Now the hill is usually dark because of all the trees but it's usually alive with the chirps and whistles of all the birds. Now the birds were silent and it felt like night. I saw in my minds eye, a man come running down the hill, pursued by another man. As they approached the lamp post just near the houses on the right, the second man caught the first one by the arm and he swung around. He stabbed him and the man fell to the ground. The second man told the other, "I told you to stay away from her", then spat on him with a sneering face and walked back up the hill, putting his blade away in his pocket. As he walked, the sky became blue again and the birds started singing. I didn't know what to do. I had seen what appeared to be a murder occur on this hill. Did I carry on up the hill and into the police station to report it? I decided not to do that, as it hadn't happened in 1999. It happened over 100 previously and I didn't want the police to think I was a crackpot. At least it explained why my young son did not want to go on the hill that day. I know he sensed something but couldn't tell me what because he just didn't have the vocabulary to tell me.
I went into town, got my item and returned home. I later did some research on the history of Brunswick Hill. At the top of the hill, where the new town Hall is, was an area called the Hollows and it was a slum tenement housing area. There would have been plenty of poor people there, just trying to survive.
