Let's Not Meet: A True Horror Podcast - Wednesday One-Shot: Almost Popped Because of Poppers

Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Wednesday One Chots, the series where we share a bonus story with you to help you get through the week. This week, we have a story by a listener named Arella. This happened to me and my friends. We were freshman in high school and adjusting to being at a big high school. See, we came from a small town, so we weren't very street smart. We've encountered minor problems in the past, but nothing else quite like this. One summer day, I decided to go for a walk around town with my best friend Hannah and our friend Trenton. We decided to stop by our local Dollar Tree. We wanted to buy some cheap squirt guns and

On our way there, we shot the squirt guns at passing cars while throwing poppers. Trenton was throwing poppers in the street while Hannah was spraying a few cars that drove past us. I was giggling along carelessly, not expecting that an accident was about to occur. A small tan car sped past us while Trenton was still mindlessly throwing poppers on the road. One of the poppers hit a small tan car. Trenton cautiously watched the car pass because he didn't realize what he did right away. He was waiting to see if they were going to react, and they did.

We didn't know what was going on, so we turned to look back at what he was talking about. As the car was heading back towards us, my fighter flight kicked in and I chose flight. Hannah and I hauled it into somebody else's yard and positioned ourselves behind a big tall planter as the car came to a screeching halt. Trenton was 5'6 and 300 pounds, so Hannah and I felt pretty safe with him. He was on the street, talking with

These three guys in the car were cussing at him. They told him not to mess with them again. Trenton said, sorry man, it was an accident, it won't happen again, I promise. The car sped off, then Hannah and I hopped out from behind our hiding place. We approached Trenton who was physically

He told us that the three men in the car had a gun drawn and pointed at him with a finger on the trigger, ready to shoot. We knew that we were being jerks, but the reaction these guys had was so extreme. I wanted to share this story to remind others to be careful when goofing around with your friends. Sometimes something that's unexpected or out of your control can happen, and you never know how somebody will react to that. So to the guys who aimed a gun, ready to shoot one of the sweetest people I know, let's
