In the dark of the night, the vibrant sounds of the Pride Month celebration echoed through the air. The colorful party was in full swing, filled with joyous revelers from all corners of the LGBTQ community. Among them, unaware of the sinister presence lurking in the shadows, were two former lovers entangled in a web of past pain.

Kyle, known for his charismatic and social nature, mingled effortlessly, his infectious laughter resonating through the crowd. His heart was open, unaware of the looming danger that awaited him. Randy, his manipulative and vengeful ex-boyfriend, harbored a deep-seated darkness that craved retribution.

With an insidious plan already set in motion, Randy approached a conniving bartender and slipped him a small vial containing a potent drug. The bartender, complicit in Randy's malevolence, approached Kyle and his new boyfriend, Angus, offering them drinks that were seemingly on the house. Oblivious to the sinister intent behind the bartender's hospitality, they gratefully accepted.

"Hey there, folks! Looks like you're having a great time tonight. Let me treat you to some special drinks on the house," he said, his voice laced with false cheerfulness.

Kyle glanced at Angus, excitement flickering in his eyes. "That's incredibly kind of you! We'd love to try something special," he replied, his voice filled with genuine gratitude.

Angus raised an eyebrow, sensing a hint of suspicion in the bartender's demeanor. "Are you sure? What's the catch?" he asked, a trace of caution coloring his tone.

The bartender chuckled softly, his eyes betraying a hidden malevolence. "No catch at all! Just consider it a token of appreciation for joining in the festivities. Enjoy!" he reassured them, pushing the laced drinks toward them.

Kyle's naivety got the best of him as he eagerly reached for the glass, his smile widening. "Thank you so much! Cheers, Angus!" he exclaimed, raising his glass for a toast.

As the minutes ticked by, the drug took hold, snaking through their veins and clouding their senses. Their laughter turned to dizziness, and their bodies grew heavy as darkness encroached upon their consciousness.

Kyle and Angus clung to each other, their vision blurred and their movements sluggish. Confusion and a sense of foreboding gripped them as they struggled to make sense of their rapidly deteriorating state.

Through the haze, they heard a familiar voice breaking through the disorienting fog. "Kyle! Angus!" Randy's voice echoed with an air of concern, carefully crafted to mask his malevolent intentions.

Kyle squinted, trying to focus on the figure before him. "Randy? Is that you?" he mumbled, his words slurred.

Randy rushed toward them, his face etched with feigned worry. "Yes, it's me! Don't worry, I'm here to help you both. Let's get you out of here," he said, his voice oozing with false reassurance.

Angus, his senses dulled but still wary, peered at Randy through bleary eyes. "What's... happening...?" he slurred, struggling to find his voice.

Randy's lips curled into a twisted smile as he gently supported the swaying duo, guiding them towards the exit. "You've had a bit too much to drink, my friends. But don't worry, I'll take care of you. Just lean on me," he said, his words laced with sinister intent.

As they stumbled towards the exit, Kyle's trust in Randy remained intact, clouded by the drugs coursing through his system. "Thank you, Randy. I don't know what we'd do without you," he murmured, his voice filled with vulnerable gratitude.

Unbeknownst to Kyle and Angus, their lives were hanging in a delicate balance, teetering on the precipice of annihilation. Randy's mask of concern concealed the depths of his depravity, his twisted desire for vengeance fueling his every move.

With every step closer to Randy's car, the darkness surrounding Kyle and Angus grew more palpable, their fate sealed in a horrifying encounter they were powerless to prevent.

Randy loaded the helpless duo into his car, their unconscious bodies sprawled across the back seat. A twisted smile curled upon his lips as he began to drive, the abandoned house in the depths of the woods his macabre destination. But as fate would have it, the hand of justice intervened.

A vigilant police officer patrolling the area noticed the erratic driving and pulled Randy over, unaware of the horrors concealed within the vehicle. The tension in the air was palpable as the officer approached, unaware of the true danger lurking in the night...
