CHAPTER THREE: TELL ME YOUR STORY SUBMISSION 15 Once when I was in highschool, I decided to go on a little adventure with my friends. Six of us crammed into a tiny car, me on my friend’s lap in the front seat, and we went driving around the back roads of the country in the dark. My friend who lived nearby suggested a dirt road we could walk down for fun. We parked, walked down this road, and into an accompanying field. After quite some time, we finally headed back towards our car, which is when we were met with a shock. A woman (who we couldn’t see very well) was driving down the road towards us on her ATV. Her dogs were barking and running around, and she was screaming at us to get off her property. We were all horrified, so we apologized and quickly went back to our car. Just as we were pulling away (and to my even greater shock and horror), my friend (the driver) leaned out his window and screamed “you’re a fucking cunt!” before driving away. The woman clearly didn’t appreciate the insult because she started chasing us, on her ATV. I don’t totally remember what happened next, but I know it involved a lot of panicked yelling and frantic direction giving as we tried to lose the insane ATV woman. We finally lost her and made our way back to my friend’s house, everyone freaking out about the police being called, etc. I didn’t tell anyone about the experience for a long time, but it was easily one of the strangest things that has ever happened to me. 43
