  Speaker 1: It was just past midnight when we pushed through the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: pulsating crowd at leons, the club's neon lights casting dizzy
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and shadows that flickered to the rhythm of the thumping bass.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: My friends and I had a tight knit group of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: college besties, had chosen a booth near the dance floor,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: our laughter mingling with the eclectic beats.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Among us was Rachel.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: That's me, always the more observant one, scanning the sea
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of faces soaking in the knight's ecstatic energy. Suddenly our
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: giggles were sliced by a chilling interruption. A man who
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I later knew was David approached us. His appearance struck
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a discordant note against the club's vibrant backdrop. His hair
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: was enkempt, eyes darting nervously beneath heavy brows. He was
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: sweating bullets, and his under arms were covered in sweat stains,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and his smile there was something ominous about it. He
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was holding two Prime energy drink cans and was chugging
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: them down like he was a stranded man in a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: desert who had suddenly found water. He was also shaking erratically,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: clearly under the influence of drugs, and there was something
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: nasty about his expression. Hey, ladies, care for some company.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: His voice attempted casual charm, but faltered into an eerie monotone.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: My friend Sarah brushed him off with a dismissive hand gesture.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: No thanks, We're good.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just move along, buddy, You're not getting any around here.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: David's face twitched with annoyance as he lingered a moment longer,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: his eyes narrowing as he surveyed us. I can have
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: any one of you, but tell you what, honey, pie,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm a ride. You won't survive with a grunt. Sarah
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: spitted out her drink on him as she laughed at
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: what he said. The rest of my besties took out
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: our phones and started making snaps of him. He was
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: red livid and embarrassed. With a grunt, he turned and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: stumbled away, the crowd swallowing him up. We resumed our evening,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: dismissing the encounter as just another oddity in the club's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: tapestry of nighttime adventures. We were all in our prime,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and not a day would go by if we were
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: in a club and not get hit on by the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: creepiest of dudes. Thinking they'd have a chance. But the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: atmosphere shifted perceptibly. The air grew thicker, the beats now
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: pounding with a sinister urgency. It was then that midst
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the cacophony of sounds and bodies, that chaos rerupt it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: A series of sharp, thunderous cracks split the music. Screams
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: spliced the air, a terrifying counterpoint to the previous fun.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: In an instinctive move, we ducked under our table, the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: world around us morphing into a nightmare of flashes and shouts.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: It's him, the guy from before. He's got a gun.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: No fucking way. Oh my god, he knows where we are.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Oh god, he's shooting at people. Do you think someone's dead.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The reality of her words sank in as we huddled closer,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the sound of gunfire growing nearer, almost matching the beats
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of the music. I wrisked a glance and saw David
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: moving methodically through the crowd. His movements were precise, his
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: face a mask of detached fury. People fell around him,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: their dances of joy brutally cut short.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: You need to get out of your now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But before we could make our move, a body thudded
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: against our booth, spurring a collective scream from our group.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: The woman was gasping, blood blossoming on her shirt like
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a gruesome flower. In that moment, our survival instincts overrote
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: our shock. We crawled, scrambled, and clawed our way toward
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the nearest exit. He was after us. We should not
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: have insulted him like that. As we neared the exit,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the unthinkable happened. A bullet grazed my arm, searing pain
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: flashing through me as I stumbled forward.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: The exit just loomed ahead.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: We were almost there, almost safe, But then another shot
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: rang out, closer this time, and darkness edged my vision.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: As I fell down, a sea of people rushed over me.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And that is when it dawned on me that as
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: everyone was running toward the exit, this might just trigger
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a stampede.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Rachel, come on, you can do this.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I nodded weakly, my body on autopilot, driven by the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: primal urge to survive. I tossed my heels away and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: sprung up on my bare feet. We spilled into the alley,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the cool night air hitting my face, laced with the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: acrid smell of gunpowder and fear.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: We were out but not safe, not yet.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The sound of David's rampage echoed in our ears as
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we ran, knowing that the nightmare was far from over.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Our escape into the alley was a brief rest, the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: cold air sharp in our lungs as we pressed against
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the grimy brick wall, trying to make sense of the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: horror unfolding just yards away. The sounds of gunfire continued
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to pierce the night, each shot a reminder that death
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was just a wall away.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: We can't just run. We need a plan. What plans, Sarah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: We need to get as far as possible. This is
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: a dead end. The alley doesn't lead anywhere.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Damn call nine one one, Oh my god, Rachel, your arm.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I felt the blood from my arms soaking into my sleeve.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Each heart beat a throbbing reminder of our peril. The
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: alley offered darkness as a cloak, but the closed street
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: promised no options. We moved, half running, half stumbling, towards
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the street at the alley's end. That is when another
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: round of gunfire erupted closer. Now we froze, the reality
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: dawning on us that David might have exited the club.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Peering around the corner.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I spotted him, and his back was to us, his
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: body language erratic as he scammed the area, the guns
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in his hands grotesquely steady. We pulled back, our breath shallow.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: The weight was excruciating. After what seemed an eternity, his
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: movements redirected away from us, drawn by some unseen stimulus.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: We seized the moment.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We rushed in the opposite side and hid behind a dumpster.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I was just left with Sarah. My other friends were
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: probably still inside.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Call nine one one now.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: She did, and we waited for a few moments as
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the gunshots went further and further away. Soon the police
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: sirens filled every space. There was even a chopper there.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Within a few minutes, and only after some disturbance we
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: heard a much louder, bolder gun shot. We later got
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to know that the snipers had got him. I remember
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: wailing as the police finally found us. We were taken
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to a hospit. The emergency room was a blur of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: motion and urgent voices as the doctors tended to my wound.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: The police arrived soon and started at enquiry. I recounted
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the story, my voice detached, as if the horror belonged
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to someone else. It later came to light that David
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was a schizophrenic psychopath who was out on parole. He
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: was previously thrown in jail after killing three dogs. The
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: investigations further revealed that his prime energy drink got spiked,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: due to which his psychosis was triggered. Are making fun
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of him only added insult to the fire, and he
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: then proceeded to pull out semi automatic weapons that he
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was keeping in his truck and attacked the bounders before
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: storming in.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Twelve people died in that massacre.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: At least twenty seven were injured, and I was lucky
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that the bullet missed me by just a whisker. Thankfully,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: none of my besties were seriously hurt. But survival felt hollow,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: tainted by the screams bloodshed. I knew the nightmare wasn't
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: truly over. It would live on in our memories, in
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: our dreams, a dark reminder of the night when a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: simple rejection sparked a descent into madness. I wouldn't wish
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: this horror on the worst of my enemies. It was
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a typical Friday night, or so it seemed. When my
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: sister Anna and I decided to have a little fun
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: at the expense of our neighbor Mark. Our mothers were friends.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We knew that he was an insomniac college student, always
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: buried in his textbooks and visibly on edge from his
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: lack of sleep. He had always been weird, too, shy,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: creepy stairs. My sister actually called him psycho. From our
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: bedroom window, we could see directly into his study, where
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the glow of his desk lamp often burned well into
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the night.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Let's give Mark a little show. Maybe he'll smile for once.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I hesitated for a month, aware of the dark circles
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: under his eyes that had deepened over the past week.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: But the temptation for a bit of mischief was too strong.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: We started making faces and playfully waving, trying to catch
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: his attention. Instead of the annoyed smirk or dismissive wave
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: we expected, there was no reaction. Mark was staring into
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: his computer, chugging another Prime energy drink, as was his
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: ritual every night. I really thought that chugging so many
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: energy drinks would drive an insomnia act crazy. Little did
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I know I was soon going to be proven right.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I Betty doesn't even know we're here. He's like a zombie.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Is he like gay or something? I don't think so.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: He did ask out Betty for a dance last month. Betty,
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: no freaking way. She is like way out of his
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: leg I know, but he just like staes at girls
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: like a creep. I Betty's a version. Let's find out
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: how give him a proper show.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: My sister yelled out his name to finally catch his eyes,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and before I could even react, she quickly lifted up
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: her top to give him a quick view. I was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: shocked by it, but instead of being embarrassed, Mark stared
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: at us like he was going to kill us. His
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: head suddenly snapped up, his eyes locking onto mars with
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: an intensity that sent a chill down my spine. He
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: stood abruptly, his chair clattering to the floor. For a moment,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: he just stared, and then he yanked his curtain shut.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Maybe that was too much.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: He looks really messed up, or maybe he is gay.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Guilt nibbled at me as we retreated from our window,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: deciding to call it a night. The fun had evaporated,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: replaced by a growing unease. We went about our bedtime routines.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: My sister with her nighttime Korean skincare ritual, and we
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: went to sleep. Just about an hour later, I was
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: jolted awake by a faint noise. The house was dark,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the only light coming from the moon, casting shadows across
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the room. I listened, holding my breath, and then I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: heard it again, a soft scraping sound, like metal against wood.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Our parents were out of town and my sister was
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: asleep beside me, Hence the sound.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Really worried me.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Emily, did you hear that?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Nodding?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I slipped out of bed and crept to the door,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: my heart pounding in my chest. The sounds grew louder,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: more purposeful. That is when I freaked out. Somebody was
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: in the house, and it felt like they wanted us
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to know of their presence. We tiptoed down the hallway,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the floorboards creaking under our feet. As we passed the kitchen,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the moonlight illuminated a figure, the unmistakable outline of Mark,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a knife glinting in his hand.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, what the fuck?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: My sister screamed as loud as she possibly could. Panic
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: surged through me as Mark turned his eyes wild, a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: terrifying grin spreading across.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: His face back to the room, lock the door.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: We raced back, slamming the door shut and locking it
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: just as Mark had reached it. The sound of the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: knife scraping against the wood door filled the room as
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: we backed away, terror gripping us. Mark's voice seeped through
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the crack under the door, a sing song tune that
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: was more chilling than a scream. Come out, Come out, ladies.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You surprised me with your teasing. Now I am here
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: with a surprise of my own. We were trapped, our
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: own home turned into a maze with a madman at
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the center. I grabbed my phone, my fingers trembling as
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I dialed nine to one one, praying that help would
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: arrive before Mark could find his way in. As I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: whispered our address to the dispatcher, the scraping at the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: door intensified. Mark was endless, his voice oscillating between coaxing
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: whispers and his frenzied taunts. He was kicking at the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: door again and again, and then scraping the wood off
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: with his sharp knife. My sister kept shrieking while I
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: tried to get the help as fast as possible.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Please hurry, he's trying to break in.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Let's barricade the door, or else he will get in.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: We pushed our heavy dresser against the door, the heavy
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: wood scraping against the floor with a thud. It brought
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: us a moment of reprieve, though the pounding of the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: door began almost immediately. The solid oak trembled under Mark's blows,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: his desperation palpable in the force of each strike.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Emily, we're gonna die. God, please save us. I don't
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: want to die.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Gripping her hand, I felt a surge of protective fury.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: No, we are not dying tonight.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in. As
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: we huddled behind our makeshift barricade. Mark's shadow loomed under
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the door, is breathing heavy and ragged. Suddenly the pounding stopped.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Silence hung in the air, thick and heavy. We exchanged
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a glance, neither daring to breathe. Then the sound of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: glass shattering from the living room broke the eerie quiet.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: You can't hide forever, ladies, I need my fun his
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: voice came from outside. We stood in shock the back door.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: He was trying another way in by climbing the pipes
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to our window. Acting on impulse, I peeked out the window.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: The street was still empty, no signs of the promised help.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: We couldn't wait any longer.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: As I saw him climbing up the pipe with his
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: terrifying laughter, I ran inside, pulling out the dumbbells I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: was using for my home workouts and dropped them. The
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: first one hit his shoulder, not deterring him, but the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: second one slammed into his face and he fell down,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: weeping in pain. I pulled my sister as we climbed
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: out the window, hurriedly, jumping on the roof of the garage,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and then we jumped a wall into our neighbor's house,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: our feet hitting the cold grass of their lawn as
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: we ran for our lives. We kept running out on
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the street, the adrenaline masking the pain of our injuries.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Then finally, the flash of red and blue lights appeared
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: at the end of the street. Relief flooded through me,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: so intense it was almost debilitating. The police moved swiftly.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: They entered our home, guns drawn. We clung to each other,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: watching from the safety of the police car.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: As more officers arrived.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: It didn't take long for them to bring Mark out
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in handcuffs. His head bowed, his body language that of defeat.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: The sight of him so different from the frenzied monster
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: who had chased us was surreal.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: He seemed smaller, diminished.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Somehow, but the terror he had inflicted was too fresh,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: too raw, to invoke anything but a shudder from me.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: My sister hugged me as we both cried.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: It's over. He can't hurt us now.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Later, as we sat in the hospital, nurses tended to
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: our cuts and bruises. The physical wounds would heal, but
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the Knight's horrors had etched deep scars within us which
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: would sing the terrors of that night for a long,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: long time.
