A Life-Altering Moment

A Life-Altering Moment

Miniaci Performing Arts Center

This creative piece is about two college students, Ally and Cody. Ally is president of SGA and all-around good girl, who holds a major disfavor towards Weston College’ all-star athlete and resident playboy, Cody Dallas. Cody has been around with the ladies of Weston College, many of the infamous flings making the cover of theSpectator (the official newspaper for the college). However, Cody is getting bored with chasing after cheerleaders and sorority girls, and decides to set his aims a little higher, setting his eyes on Ally. His friends, Nick and Jesse, don’t believe he will be as successful with Ally as he has been with the other ladies and place a bet ($100) that Ally will turn down his advances. As the story shifts into the turning point, Cody decides to tip the odds in his favor and spikes Ally’s drink, which she is now vulnerable and susceptible to drinking at this point after getting in an argument with one of her best friends. Ultimately, Ally ends up consuming the laced drink and becoming prey to Cody’s advances as he leads her away from the club and into the muddy and damp woods encompassing the area. As Cody prepares to have his way with Ally, she tries to fight the drugs and tell him that she doesn’t want to have sex. However, Cody caught in his own satisfaction is deaf to her cries and moans of displeasure. In the end, a life-altering choice is made.
