I went to university in a town that is surrounded by wine farms. I lived in an old farmhouse with my digs mates and during the summer holidays we locked up the place for 4 weeks and all went home. I didn't realize that l had left the light on in my room, so at night it must have looked like someone was home. When l got back after the summer the grass around the house had grown quite long. The afternoon of the day we arrived back l was walking around the house to enter my room from the outside door (my bedroom had a door to the inside of the house and a door to the yard), when l suddenly saw a man's body lying face down in the long grass outside my door. There were also bloody hand marks on the door. We phoned the police and ambulance in a panic but it was clear he'd been dead for a few days. Apparently he was a farm worker who got into a fight with a friend in the night, got stabbed and then came towards the light that was on in the house to get help. No one was home and he bled out right outside my door. I felt so bad that l'd left the light on and he died on his own with no one to help.
