Last Dance





I was told this by my cousin who lives in a suburb just outside of the cities. It was a dark and stormy night........and everyone was at the high school prom. People had been running in from the rain trying to stay as dry as possible. One of the students, a well liked athlete decided he'd drive as close as possible to the building to drop his date off. He pulled up next to the building and his date started to get out. When he did so a staff member at the school came running out to yell at the student, when he drove to the building he had crossed through a grassy area and ripped up the lawn with his tires.

The young man seeing this wanted to leave before being identified. He slammed on the gas and tore off towards the parking lot. Minutes later as he cautiously made his way back to the school he saw what looked like police lights. He carefully crept closer thinking the police had been called because of the damage he had done. Instead what he saw next would haunt him for ever. Two E.M.T.'s were placing his date in the back of the ambulance. Apparently when he sped away he hadn't just torn apart the lawn, but had torn his date's leg off when her dress became caught in the axel of his car. It was later reported that she had been dragged nearly 50 yards until being flung free, her body in one direction and her leg in another. To this day no student has been allowed to drive to that high school's prom.
