(🎧 Audio Version) The Tattoo: A Story of Lost Friendship and Regret

[📖 Prefer reading? Here's the story in script format.] ⬇

(Scene: A dimly lit bar with a few patrons scattered around. YOU sit at the counter, nursing a drink. The faint hum of conversation and clinking of glasses fills the air. A GIRL around twenty-five approaches, catching your attention with a friendly smile.)

Girl: Hey, I love your tattoo! It’s really cool.

You: Thanks. I got it when I was 17.

(She leans in slightly, intrigued, studying the tattoo on your arm.)

Girl: Really? It looks like it has a story behind it.

You: It does. The four-headed monster—represents me and my three closest friends.

Girl: That’s beautiful. And "R.A.R.E."? What does it mean?

You: It’s our initials.

Girl: What a unique way to honor them. What happened to you all?

You: We lost one of them. She was murdered just a few weeks after we all got this tattoo.
