Welcome to the return of the Wednesday One Shot, the series where we share a bonus story with you to help you get through the week good and terrified.

We'll be doing this bi-weekly moving forward. This week we have a story by an author that goes by the name of Crystal Lover 8.

When I was around 20 years old, I was newly single in exploring the apps.

I matched with his guy named Alex.

He wasn't my usual type, but his profile seemed pretty cool.

It showed that he was in school, had a car, and a job, plus friends, so he didn't seem weird to me at all.

We got to talking, and he seemed pretty into me, so we set up a date.

He came to pick me up for a quote-unquote driving date, basically sitting in his car for hours, driving around. And yes, I don't know why I did

this, but I'm blaming it on being young and dumb. So he started driving. We drove for about 40 minutes

all the way to downtown. Mind you, during those 40 minutes, he was blasting music at full volume with the windows down.

Everyone on the sidewalk was staring at us while he screamed the lyrics out the window.

When I brought up that I thought it was a little loud, he said,

nah, everyone loves it.

They, in fact, did not love it, I can assure you.

Anyway, we get to the heart of downtown,

and he parks outside a very famous and prominent tower in the city.

Then he gets out of the car,

gets down onto the ground,

and just stares at it.

No warning, no nothing.

This is when I started to think

he was a little strange.
