horror. Number one, the city, the dive bar, and the skinhead. Four years ago, I finally got to do the thing I'd been dreaming about since I was a teenager, moved to a big city. You know the type, the place that's always buzzing, with music spilling out of bars, people on every corner, the kind of city where you can disappear into the crowd, but also somehow find your people. I had just turned 23. I was young enough to still believe I was invincible, old enough to convince myself I could handle whatever came my way. I had landed a job that paid me way more than anything I'd made before, and the icing on the cake, a bunch of my friends already lived there. It felt like life was handing me a giant yes. I found this shabby little studio apartment, nothing glamorous, but it had character.

You know, squeaky floors, a window that rattled whenever the wind picked up, and a kitchen so small you could touch both walls without moving your feet. I didn't care. It was mine. I even got a cat, which for me was the ultimate sign that I'd officially made it. For the first few months, I was in love. The city felt like it was mine. Every late night street corner, every greasy diner booth at 3 a.m., every dive bar bathroom covered in stickers and graffiti. And speaking of dive bars, that's where all of this started. It was one of those dingy punk shows where the walls are sticky, the bathrooms are questionable, and everyone's wearing black, my natural habitat. There were doodles of anatomy all over the wall, because of course there were, sticker-covered toilets,

and the kind of lighting that makes everyone look a little dangerous. It was my birthday, so I'd been drinking heavily. I floated around the bar like a social butterfly, hugging friends, accepting free birthday beers and getting caught up in the music. I planted myself right at the front of the stage because the band was actually good, not just good for a bar band, but the kind of good that makes you feel it in your chest. It took me a while to notice him. Tall, shaved head, boots, braces. He stood about five feet from me.

Not skinny, not fat, broad, like he could probably push through a crowd without spilling his drink. I didn't think much of it at first. People come and go in these places. But then I started noticing something. Every time I moved, he was somewhere nearby. I figured maybe he was just floating between groups like I was. Maybe we had mutual friends. During cigarette breaks, during songs, during those moments when I stopped to sit my drink, he was always within eyesight. At one point, a mosh pit broke out behind me. He was in it, circling around with the others, but every time he looped back my way, he'd shove me. Not hard enough to knock me over, but just enough to try and get me in the pit. I didn't join. I was way too drunk to survive a mosh without getting seriously hurt.

The night wound down, the band finished, and everyone was saying their goodbyes. That's when I realized I'd lost my bus pass. Perfect. Too far to walk, pouring rain, and every friend I asked either didn't have a couch for me or was heading in the opposite direction. I was mid-begbed for a ride when the skinhead approached me. I can drive you home, he said. He was clearly drunk, and yeah, I knew better than to get in a car with a drunk driver. But I was drunk too, wet from the rain, and let's be honest, I've never been known for making the best late-night decisions.

We got into his car, and that's when I got my first real look at his face. Not bad-looking, but he had that. weathered look like he could pass for late 30s or even 40. Still, he drove better than I expected, and before I knew it, we were outside my apartment. He asked if he could come in. I told him no, my cat doesn't like strangers. Not entirely a lie. She really doesn't. He seemed fine with it, told me good night, and left. A week later, there were flowers at my door. No note, no name. And here's the thing. I hate flowers, so I threw them away with you. without thinking twice. A few weeks after that, he called me. Apparently, he'd gotten my number

from a friend. He asked if I wanted to get dinner that weekend. The directness freaked me out. I wasn't used to guys just coming right out and asking like that, especially ones I barely knew. I lied and told him I had to work. That weekend, I went to a house show instead. I figured I was safe. No skinheads there, right? Wrong. He was there. I avoided him most of the night. I avoided him most of the but after a while, I started second-guessing myself. He hadn't really done anything wrong. Maybe he was just into me. Maybe I was being cold for no reason. So I decided to be nice. We ended up sharing some whiskey, chatting, even laughing a bit. At one point, he put his arm around my waist. People teased us for being cute. By around 3 a.m., the party was winding down.

I went outside to smoke, sitting on the curb, enjoying the quiet. He came out, bummed a cigarette off me. And then, just like flipping a switch, his mood changed. He started accusing me of lying about work, about avoiding dinner with him, said I was a tease. His voice was sharp, angry. I tried to brush it off, told him I'd taken the day off. He didn't believe me. Then he asked if I liked him. I panicked. I was drunk, cornered, and I thought if I said yes, maybe he'd calm down. Terrible idea. He grabbed my arm, started pulling me toward his car. If you like me, you'll come with me, he said, making it very clear what he meant. I tried to pull away, told him to leave me alone. That's when he grabbed the back of my hair and slammed me to the

ground. My head hit the pavement so hard, the world went white. I could see his mouth moving, but I couldn't hear the words. My body wasn't working. I wasn't screaming, or, I wasn't screaming, or maybe I was, because later people told me they heard me loud enough to wake the whole house. They came running, saw him on top of me hitting me. They chased him off, but he got to his car and sped away. At the hospital, I needed five stitches and had a broken nose, no concussion somehow. I was there for two days. While I was still in the hospital, I learned more. He'd been telling people we were seeing each other, told his roommates he was going to my place at night, even though he never showed up. He might have been watching my place. His roommates, to their credit,

handled it, ran him out of state before I was even discharged. I never saw him again. It took months to heal, physically and mentally. I lost friends who didn't believe me, kept only the ones who helped me that night. I moved back to a small town eventually. I miss the city sometimes, but I sleep a lot easier here. To be continued.
