A teenage boy drove his date to a dark and deserted Lovers' Lane for a make-out session.
He turned on the radio for mood music, leaned over to whisper in the girl's ear, and began
kissing her.
A short while later, the music suddenly stopped mid-song. After a moment of silence an announcer's
voice came on, warning in an ominous tone that a convicted murderer had just escaped
from the state insane asylum which happened to be located within a half-mile of Lovers'
Lane and urging that anyone who notices a man wearing a stainless steel hook in place
of his missing right hand should immediately report his whereabouts to the police.
The girl became frightened and asked to be taken home. The boy, feeling bold, locked
all the doors instead and, assuring his date they would be safe, he attempted to kiss her
again. She became frantic and pushed him away, insisting that they leave. Relenting, the
boy peevishly *** the car into gear and spun its wheels as he pulled out of the parking space
When they arrived at the girl's house she got out of the car, and, reaching to close the door
began to scream uncontrollably. The boy ran to her side to see what was there
and there, dangling from the door handle, was a bloody hook.
