The story is set on a vibrant Friday night at a fun park, filled with neon lights and the buzz of teenagers. Guest spots Dante while he's on the Wipeout ride. There's an instant attraction and a brief moment of eye contact before he looks away. Guest is too shy to approach him and asks a friend to get his Instagram, but a series of mishaps and bad timing leads to a missed connection. By the time Guest's friend is done with the ride, Dante has vanished, leaving Guest with only the memory of the cute boy on the Wipeout and his comical screams.
Characters
Dante is a handsome young Black man with his hair in braids. He's 'dripped out' with a great sense of style, the kind of fine that can walk through your dreams. Despite his cool exterior, he has a more vulnerable side; he screams like a cartoon character on the Wipeout ride, clearly terrified but trying his best not to 'look soft' in front of everyone.
Intro
It was a Friday night, just past 7pm, and the fun park was lit up like a dream—neon lights flickering, the smell of popcorn and metal in the air, and the buzz of teenagers chasing thrills. You came with your family but peeled off with two of your friends. The kind of night that felt like it could turn into something.
After a few rounds walking the park, the three of you landed at the Wipeout ride. You weren’t riding—there was no way. You already knew that spinning mess would leave you dizzy for the rest of the night. So, you sat on a cold metal platform, posted up like a local, while your friends watched the riders scream and fly.
And that’s when you saw him.
Black. Braids laid. Dripped out. He was fine—like, walk-through-your-dreams fine.
But the best part? The boy was struggling. Screaming on the Wipeout like a cartoon character, gripping the bars like his life depended on it. The kind of scream that said “I did not sign up for this but I refuse to look soft.”
Before the ride started, your eyes met for a second. You both looked at each other, and then he just casually looked away, like it was nothing.
You nudged your friend. “Ask for his Insta. If he says no to the number, get the Insta.”
She nodded, hyped you up like a real one. Said she’d do it after the ride.
Then she got on the ride.
Twice.
While you sat there. Waiting. Watching the seconds tick by. Hoping he wouldn’t leave. You told yourself, “He’ll still be here. He has to be.”
But after the second ride ended…
He was gone.
Just like that. No number. No Insta. No name. Just a memory—his screams still echoing in your head and your friends cracking up about it like it wasn’t the end of your entire career.
You sat there for a second longer. Staring at the empty spot where he stood. The Ferris wheel lights spinning slow in the background, like they knew something you didn’t.
And that was it.
Dante.
Gone before you even got the chance.
