Spiked Drinks

There's a very good reason I don't go clubbing anymore, it can get messy. Not to mention the bloody awful hangovers, a good night out can be a good time, sure, but is it really worth puking your guts up the next day inside the dirty, shit stained toilet bowl? I don't think so! I mean don't get me wrong, there's nothing better than a good pint after a long hard day's work to relax the tension in your muscles. However binge drinking and disco nights just aren't for me, because getting a hangover is the least of your worries. Unfortunately there are often thugs and drug dealers knocking around, causing fights and they are generally up to no good. Getting in a brawl is the opposite of what you want on a night out, you go out looking for a fun time with friends, not a dance with death itself! As bad as a beating can be, there is something even more dangerous out there waiting to strike. A tainted drink, they call it spiking, when somebody tampers with a drunk's beer making them sick, high or even fall unconscious. In some rare cases; a drink can be poisoned so badly it is deadly! This is a story of one of those rare, yet bizarre cases.

The year was 1999, December 31st, it was the new year's night that would begin the next millennium! There was a Y2K scare too, many stayed under their bunkers, only to wake up the next day to realise they wasted thousands of dollars on a hoax that came to nothing. Perhaps the owner of the Four Leaf Clover Nightclub in New York genuinely believed the world was going to end that night, so maybe that's why he did the evil act. I'm getting ahead of myself, you see what happened is this; at precisely midnight, January 1st, 2000, everyone was cheering, dancing, singing and celebrating the dawn of the new year. The owner came out, announcing that he was giving out free Irish whiskeys to everyone inside the club. Of course queues and queues of customers lined up to get their free drinks. It seemed strange that a nightclub owner would give away hundreds of dollars worth of alcohol like that, even if it was the celebration of the new millennium. Nobody questioned this though, as mostly everyone was too drunk to really think straight at all. Fortunately a few didn't bother to get the drinks as they didn't like Irish Whiskeys, they were the lucky ones who got to live that night, as within the next half hour; most of the party goers began to puke up blood! A hundred screams drowned out the music as hundreds fled the slaughterhouse of poisoned drunks. The owner had spiked all the freebies with a tasteless substance that was incredibly deadly. As everyone else in the city celebrated the new year, the folks inside Four Leaf Clover were dying, dropping like potatoes and spilling up their guts all over the bloody place. The staff had no idea this was going to happen, as the owner had tainted the whiskey bottles he used beforehand. The story broke out almost immediately after it happened, NYPD came down to witness the goriest mass murder any of them had ever seen. They came searching for the owner, but he had also poisoned himself, dying amongst his many victims. To this day, nobody can answer why he did this cruel, despicable act. For some, the world really did end the moment 1999 was over.

This is a fictional story, nothing that happened here is real. I hope you found it entertaining and thrilling. Please let me know in the comments below. More coming soon!
