Grand Opening

Prom Night, May 7th 1970:
A big blue telephone rings abruptly. “Hello?” Minky answers. “Oh Hi Jeannie! I’m almost ready and then guess what???? Brad is going to pick me up isn’t that so exciting? He asked me to prom just this morning.”. All you can hear is Jeanie’s screams of excitement on the phone and Minky in joy. “Listen Jeanie, I got to finish getting ready then Brad and I will see you at prom okay? See you later Jeanie!”.

Minky gets all dressed and ready for prom. Her hair is in piggy tails, she’s wearing her pink eyeglasses & a big poofy dress. She awaits outside as Brad pulls up in his blue car wearing a black tux and his hair is slick back. “Hey Minky, you look quite beautiful!”. Micky blushes “Well thank you Brad. You look really really handsome tonight.” and she ships to the cars and hops in. “Listen Minky, before we go to prom how about we just hang out just you & I? I was thinking about hanging out in the mall parking lot since it’s empty right about now. What do you say?” Brad asks. “Umm well I promised Jeanie we’ll meet her and Matt.” she says. “We will, Minky. I promise, we’ll only be no more then 20 minutes.” he says. “Well… umm…alrighty!” Micky says with hesitation.

The two drive 4 miles to Carter Mall. They enter a deserted parking garage about 5 stories high. The two drive up all the way to the top of the parking garage. Minky’s hands are shaking nervously as Brad comforts her and let’s her know he’s glad she was able to go with him. “Minky, you know I have always liked you right?” he says. Minky looks at him surprised. “I’m sorry” Brad nervously laughs. “You don’t have to lie to me.” Minky says in a laughing manner. Brad gabs a hold onto Minky’s hand”Minky, Let’s get out of the car, look at the stars and get to know each other a little more.”He says as he parks in the empty parking lot at the top. Both get out of the car & Minky wraps a jacket she brought around her arms. Both of them hold each other’s hands and lean up against the hood of the car. Just as they look up smiling at each other a rusty brown truck with a clanking engine pulls up just behind Brads car. “Oh, well this is a little awkward haha, didn’t expect anyone else to come up here.” Brad tells Minky. “Yea.. I hope we aren’t in trouble.” Minky tells him.

A person with white baggy pants, a white turtle neck & a white mask comes out of the truck. “Hi sir, I’m sorry if we weren’t suppose to be up here. We’ll leave if we have to.” he says. Minky clenches onto Brad. The person pulls out a long white razor blade out of his right pants pocket. “Minky, Minky get in the car right now! Sir, we’re leaving now!” Brad says seriously. Minky runs to the passenger side & the mysterious person runs up to her and slashes her with the blade on the left side of her stomach. She gasps and struggle to get the car door open. Brad runs up to the person and throws them away from Minky and puts her in the car. He turns around and the mysterious person has vanished. “Shit..” he says under his breath. He runs to the drivers side, gets in the car and slams the door as he turns on the car. “Minky! Minky! don’t worry i’m going to take you to a hospital!” as she’s covered in blood still struggling to breathe. He goes to push the gas & the drivers side window breaks and all you see is the razor blade slowly cutting across brad’s neck. Minky cries in terror as she witnesses the guy she’s had a crush on since 5th grade getting his throat slit. She sits there crying. Brad, still alive grasps onto Minky’s hand. “I..I..love…you..Mink”. He takes his last breath. Minky continues to cry in pain in the blood covered passenger seat. She sees the killer coming around to her side & she get’s out of the passenger side. She takes a deep breath, pushes on her cut wound and runs to the elevator across the lot. She limps her way & the man is right behind her. She gets closer and closer & see’s him getting closer as well. She lunges herself into the elevator and slams Floor 3 begging for it to close. He is now ten feet away from the elevator and she crawls into the corner “FUCK YOU!!!!!!!” she screams as it closes before he could get to the elevator. She drops herself to the ground & sobs. Two floors down & the elevator doors open. She is then brought to a floor inside the dark and vacant mall. She picks herself up & slowly and cautiously walks out of the elevator. The mall’s security guard Craig McCoy runs see’s her from a distance “Minky?! is that you?! Are you okay?” he asks with worry. “Craig! Help me.” Minky struggles to say as she limps out of the elevator. She walks to his direction as she trips over fishing line. She falls to the ground & an arrow flies right past Craig’s ear and impales Minky’s throat, and into the malls marble floor. Craig stand’s in shock and runs to her blood seeping body. “No!….no.. no… nooo!” He cries grabbing onto her.
