Behind Chalmers...

As I was walking by Chalmers the other day I paused at a certain spot. It was behind one of Chalmers main buildings. It was getting dark and and I had never been there before. As I looked around there was a big dark building made of dark red bricks on my left hand, it had a lot of windows but I couldn’t see what was inside. On my right side there was some kind of a round metal building, maybe some kind of an electricity house. Behind me there was only an emty parking lot and trees here and there. And in front of me there was another brick “factory-like” building with some emty windows and fire stair made of some kind of metal.
On the wall of the building on my right side there were some curios marks. When I took a closer look it was some kind of wall material that was probably beeing tested due to some weather circumstanses. Interresting...
The street beneath me was wet from the rain earlier that day. There was no light in these big buildings exept from a small room in the cellar of the building to the left. But there was nobody inside that small room but some chairs and table. The only life thing I could se was a spider and its web in the window.
It was a quite calm night. It wasn’t cold but it was getting a bit chilly. I could see a tiny bit of the moon and some stars where peeking through the clouds. You couldn’t feel any wind blowing but you could here the sound of a huge fan somewhere. Do they really need airconditioning at this time?
As I stood there alone in the dark I couldn’t help but wonder if it was a risky place to be at? Should I keep walking or go some other way? Besides, I wasn’t sure if it was a dead end or if I could walk between the buildings ahead of me.
I kept on walking slowly and heard the echo of the “skwampy” sound from my footsteps... I kept looking around but saw no movement anywhere. The sound from the traffic was flying in the air.
All of a sudden I heard a “bling”. It was the sound from a bycicle-bell and a guy on a bike rides by me with a blizz. For one split second I didn’t know if I should be scared or reliefed that someone was actually there. As the bike boy drove past me and between those lonely buildings I realised it wasn’t a dead-end. So I kept on walking between these dark, creepy and misterious buildings and probably increasing my pace a bit.
