It’s a dark evening and I’ve been ready for a long time to get this over with. I’m dressed
in a short pink dress with matching gloves and all ready to meet my prom date.
I looked at myself in the mirror, a wide smile made it’s way to my lips as I
heard the people downstairs call my name. Finally my date arrived, and it was
time to go down the stairs to greet her. The old wooden stairs creaked under me
as I made my way down. It was a sound I heard a thousand times before but today
-of all days- it made the skin on my back tingle with the cold sensation of
goosebumps. I reached the doorknob downstairs to open the door for my prom
date. The cold wind blew in my face when I slowly opened the door. Carefully I
took a peek through the door and then I saw it….

My heart starts beating so fast that it hurts. My whole body is covered in sweat and my
limbs start shaking. I am slowly looking from down to up at the person before
me. She is wearing a long white wedding dress. I slowly look up and I suddenly
feel sick and anxious. The top of the dress is covered in blood. The blood is
leaking from the neck and the head is chopped off. There is a bone sticking out
of the wound and blood streams from the neck on the dress. While looking at this
terrifying scene I lose control of my body and faint.

I hear voices all around me and I slowly open my eyes. Auch my head hurts so bad. Where am I?
When my eyes are opened, sweat covers my body again. I am at my school, at the
prom. But something is terribly wrong. Headless women in wedding dresses are
everywhere around me. Next to each one stands a headless man wearing a tuxedo.
All of their outfits are covered in blood, leaking from their bleeding necks.
They all carry a black dog with shining red eyes and blood all over their
teeth. I suddenly feel sick again. What is going on here? Is this just a really
bad nightmare? This can’t be real.

At that moment I feel two hands closing over my mouth. I am pulled back under a dining
table. I am shocked, I slowly turn around to look at the person behind me. I
let out a scream. The person sitting behind me is my prom date, the person I
had been waiting for the whole evening. She looks terrified. Her cheeks are
black from her leaked out makeup, her eyes are blood red. She obviously has
been crying for a long while.

’Lizzy whatis going on here?’ I ask her. Her lips start shaking and she bursts out in
tears. ‘Oh Lissandra, I have been hiding here for hours. When I heard the
doorbell earlier this evening, I thought it was you. So I opened the door and
found a headless man in tuxedo standing in front of me. I was terrified and
fainted. Ever since I am here, I am hiding under this table. Classmates keep
arriving, and get carried away by these monsters. They take them behind the
curtains at the podium and then……’.
