The Ticket
by Ariel Rosen
Hey where are you? We were supposed to meet 30 min ago!
Hey I'm so sorry, I'm stuck on the train! We're on the bridge right now so I finally have service ugh
What's the delay?
Not sure, but it's super annoying!!!
Great. We're gonna be late to the show.
They don't even go on until 10, don't worry!
Yeah, but I don't wanna miss their opening song. I heard they really come out with a bang.
You can head to the show if you want, and I'll meet you there!
You sure?
Yeah, which venue is it?
The one in Williamsburg
Okay cool. See you there!
_______
Hey I'm here and I've got 2 beers. You walking over?
DUDE I'm still stuck on the bridge!
What?? What is going on? Jesus
Idk. Something weird is going on... there's a guy pacing around the car
So get out of that car...
I can't. The door is locked. There's another guy in here too, down at the other end
What's that guy doing?
Just like...reading a book. Whatever. Crazy people.
Well get here soon! They're starting now.
Ugh, stupid train!!!
_______
So there are 2 cops in the conductor's booth. crazy pacing guy is pounding on the door.
Get the fuck out of there Carly
I can't!!
holy shit, crazy guy just pulled out a bloody knife
What?!
Yeah, he's like caressing it and shit
I'm really scared
Is there somewhere you can hide?
I'm hiding behind the seats
Cops won't open up
omg this can't be real
What's happening???
He just looked at the other guy and said "you're gonna die today"
Get the cops!
he's stabbing his face!
Over and over...
Cops won't come out
guy is pounding on door, screaming for help
Can you do something?
I don't wanna anger stabby guy!!
Should I call the police?
they know and they're not doing ANYTHING
They're just watching this happen!
He just stabbed his eye!!!
His EYE?
oh no. I think he spotted me
Carly? plz tell me ur ok
If I die today, will you take my cat?
Carly stop it, just get out of there!
Carly??
CARLY?!!!!!
I'm off the train! Heading to the venue
CARLY WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
The craziest thing!! So the stabby guy noticed me, and he got real pissed off
So he pulls his bloody rusty knife out of eye-less guy's arm
Eye-less guy?
Yeah, when he got stabbed in the eye, that was it.
Gross. Okay continue!
So stabby guy is headed right for me, like running. I'm screaming. The cops look terrified.
Did they come out?
No! They were watching from behind the door, horrified
And suddenly, eye-less guy just gets up and tackles him to the ground. Stabby guy starts repeatedly stabbing his face again, but eyeless guy doesn't give a shit anymore
What a badass!
You're telling me! Finally, he knocks the knife out of stabby guy's hand and pins him to the ground
Meanwhile, I'm like crying in the corner, and he's yelling at me to help him
What'd you do?
I ran over and kicked that nastyass knife to the other end of the car.
Then eye-less guy starts punching him in the face. Over and over and over.
I would probably do the same thing.
And THAT'S when the cops decided to emerge
Are you kidding me??
No way man. So they come out and arrest the guy, who has apparently been running all over Manhattan randomly stabbing people for the past week.
Now that I think about it, I remember seeing something about that!
Yeah basically, these cops are just patting themselves on the back for a "job well done" and meanwhile there's blood EVERYWHERE and eye-less guy is screaming in pain because you know, he DOESN'T HAVE AN EYE ANYMORE
Did the cops do anything?
No! They just left him standing there, bleeding profusely, taking credit for something HE did!
Useless cops
You're telling me. But then we couldn't get the poor guy any medical attention because we were still on the bridge.
So I helped him with his stab wounds until we got to Brooklyn. Some EMTs were waiting there
Is he gonna be okay?
Oh yeah. He's probably gonna need a glass eye from now on though. And man is he pissed!!
I would be too.
Mentioned he was gonna sue the NYPD.
He should. That's ridiculous.
I wanted to ride with him in the ambulance, since his family wasn't around. But he insisted that I not go with him. I feel like I owe him my life or something. The guy saved me.
You should get him something!
I should, shouldn't I? Something tells me he wouldn't accept it.
Seriously though, that is the most badass thing I've ever heard of.
Most definitely! Okay I'm here outside. Please tell me they haven't finished their set.
Nope, still going!
Oh my god, Mitch.
What??
Don't hate me.
What is it?
I forgot my ticket.
