Trust Your Instincts

“It was 9:30 at night. I ordered a ride home after studying late.

A black SUV pulled up—same model, same spot. The driver rolled down the window

and said, ‘You Maya?’ I almost said yes… but something felt off.

No sticker. Wrong plate. When I asked him my name, he froze.

I backed away—then ran. He sped off. A minute later, my real driver arrived

in a completely different car. Check the plate. Check the name. Always trust your

gut.”
