Number one, my night of red lights, limos, and actual horror. Okay, so first things first, I'm a girl, and this nightmare happened to me just last year. And when I say, nightmare, I'm not being dramatic, I mean literal chaos in an evening gown. The plan that night was pretty simple, prom, then the after party. I was with about eight of my friends, all crammed into a rented limo like we were living out some cheesy teen movie fantasy. There was music, way too much perfume, glitter literally floating in the air, you know, normal pre-after party vibes. We were on our way, just cruising through the city lights, and I was scrolling through my phone

looking for a selfie I'd taken earlier. I was mid-dash, look how cute I looked, moment with my friend when the limo slowed to a stop at a red light. And that's when everything started going wrong. First, there was this ear-splitting squeal of tires behind us. It wasn't the little, oopsie sound you hear when someone takes off too fast, no, this was that sharp, teeth grinding screech you here right before a crash. My heart jumped straight into my throat. All of us gasped at the same time, that kind of collective inhale people make when they think they just almost got rear-ended. We barely had time to exchange the, what the hell was that, looks when, and I swear it was maybe three seconds later, there were two loud thuds from behind us.

The kind that makes your stomach drop. Before I could even turn all the way around, I saw movement in the tinted back window. Two guys, one from the driver's side, one from the passengers, had gotten out of the car behind us and were storming up to our limo like they were on some kind of mission. Natalie, my friend sitting next to me, instantly ducked her face into her hands. I didn't know why at the time, but I would later find out she had a very personal reason for hiding. The guys yanked on the limo door handles like they were trying to break into a bank vault. Thank God those locks held.

The sound of them rattling the metal made my skin crawl. Then they started pounding on the windows, screaming, cursing, spitting out words I couldn't even fully process because my brain was already in fight or flight overdrive. And then I realized something that made my stomach twist, they were yelling specifically for Natalie. Not let us in or get out here, but her name, demanding she opened the door. The three of us sitting near her all pulled out our phones at the same time and dialed 911. Another girl started screaming at the limo driver, like, go. Go.

But the light was still red, and there were cars crossing in front of us. One of the guys, I think the taller one, suddenly started slamming his elbow into the window, again and again. It was like watching some rabbit animal. I could feel the glass vibrating each time. I tried to film it on my phone, but the footage is basically useless. You can hear the yelling clear as day, but visually it's just shaky darkness, glimpses of dresses, and flashes of people's hands holding phones. The guys were dressed, honestly, like they'd just rolled out of bed.

Baggy sweatpants, stained white tank tops. One had a cigarette tucked behind his ear. They looked way older than us. The driver, who was this big, broad-shouldered guy, finally flung his own door open and got out. He yelled at them to back off. For a split second, I felt this huge wave of relief, because he looked like someone who could handle himself. But amazingly, they didn't stop.

One of the guys squared up to fight him, while the other kept trying to break through to Natalie. Then, and this part happened so fast it still feels unreal, the glass gave way. The guy's elbow finally cracked it enough that it shattered inward, spraying us with tiny, sharp shards. Before I could react, his arm was reaching through, fumbling for the lock. He popped the door open and lunged inside, grabbing Natalie by the ankles and trying to drag her out. We all screamed. Instinct took over. Several of us started his.

hitting him, and I mean really hitting him, with our high heels. Someone, I still don't know who, landed a blow right to his face, because suddenly blood was pouring down from his eye. Meanwhile, the other guy had gotten shoved by our driver into the street, directly into the path of a Chrysler that was taking the corner way too fast. The car slammed into him with this horrible, dull thud. His body went up, over the roof, and landed sprawled on the pavement. The driver pinned the first guy to the ground while we all sat there shaking.

The intersection turned into a crime scene in seconds. The cops came, the area was taped off, and we were stuck giving statements for over an hour. I was trying to keep my breathing steady, but I could still hear the glass breaking in my head. Natalie eventually told us that the first guy was her stepbrother, and the second was his drug dealer. She had found the stepbrother's stash in a place where her baby nephew could have gotten into it. so she destroyed it. They found out, and apparently decided to come after her that night. The dealer, the guy hit by the Chrysler, was dead before the paramedics even got there. The stepbrother was taken to the hospital, lost his eye, and then got arrested. Our driver wasn't blamed for anything,

but the Chrysler driver lost his license. That whole thing lasted maybe five minutes, but it felt like an eternity. I still have the shoes I wore that night, and there are faint dark stains on them that I'll never get out. And no, I've never worn them again. Number two, the girl who vanished. In 2012, I went to prom with a girl named Sophie. We'd only been dating a few weeks. She wasn't from my school, we just lived in the same neighborhood, met through a mutual friend, and bonded over our shared love for anime and graphic novels. She had this whole alternative vibe, tattoos everywhere, always wearing this scorpion. necklace, like she was in her own movie. My small, conservative town didn't really know what to do

with someone like her, which, honestly, was part of the appeal. On prom night, she stepped into my car wearing this skin-tight black dress that basically made my jaw drop. Before heading to the school, we swung by a friend's backyard pre-party, there was a bonfire, some beer being passed around, people laughing too loud. One guy there was Patrick, an arrogant jerk I remember. from a year before. He'd been kicked out of school but was still somehow at prom as someone's date. He kept trying to flirt with Sophie even though his date was right there. She ignored him, but he didn't get the hint. Finally, he stepped in front of me like he was about to block my path, and Sophie just, pulled a switchblade. Out of nowhere. Pressed it to his throat and told him

that if he ever touched her again, she'd cut him open. Patrick turned white and backed off. We headed to the school, but the chaperones had already heard about the knife incident. Since Sophie wasn't a student there, they refused to let her in. She took it well enough, or so I thought. We agreed to just go grab food instead. I got in the driver's seat, shut the door, and waited for her to walk around to the passenger side. But, she didn't. Ten seconds passed. I looked around. Nothing.

I got out, scanned the parking lot, she was gone. Completely gone. No cars pulling away, no doors slamming, nothing. I called her name, walked between rows of parked cars, called her phone. No answer. I even went back inside to check the bathrooms. Nothing. It had been seconds.

She'd been right there. I started thinking about Patrick, about the knife, about how she could have been attacked, but she could handle herself, right? After an hour, I called the police. They weren't taking it seriously until they ran her name and found out she had a record. When officers searched the lot, they found her knife stabbed into the tire of a random Honda, a teacher's car. No sign of Sophie.

Police concluded she'd left on her own. I've never believed that. It's been over a decade now. No one's filed a missing person's report. No one's confirmed she's alive. And I still think she was taken that night. Number three, The Stranger in the Basement. Back in 2006, I went to prom with my friend Cora.

Strictly friends, no romance. She was tall, athletic, bright yellow dress. We spent most of the night in the corner, making jokes and talking about college plans. Near the end of the night, we heard that some students had snuck beer into the basement. We went down, had a drink, laughed with friends. Cora's phone went off, a bunch of texts at once. She stepped away to check them.

I stayed behind, sipping my beer. Fifteen minutes passed. She hadn't come back. Then the fire alarm went off, deafening, shaking the walls loud. Everyone started running outside. I should have gone too, but I wanted to find Cora. I searched the crowd. No yellow dress.

I checked the bathroom. Nothing. Locker hallway. Nothing. Something felt wrong. I went back downstairs, and found her on the ground, a man I didn't know with his hands around her throat. I smashed a beer bottle over his head. He staggered back. She punched him in the throat. I grabbed her and dragged her upstairs while she was still trying to fight him off. Outside, cops swarmed us. At first they thought I was attacking her. Once they realized the truth, they sent her to the hospital. That man was never identified. No one knows who pulled the fire alarm. I'll never forget his face, bloodshot eyes, huge pupils, and this.

awful smirk like hurting her made him happy. There's always a reason to be afraid. The end.
