Stories with great twists

Hi this is my 3rd contest at SW and this time I want stories with great twists! Prewrites are allowed or write something new. You can submit any category/genre but what I really want is to be reading something and then BOOM! this twist to come out of nowhere, something I just do not see coming, something that really makes me go "Wow!"

That's it! Give me your best stories with fantastic twists in the tale!

RULES

1 - All genre's allowed
2 - Story must have a really good twist that the reader does not see coming
3 - DonT WRitE lIKe dIz
4 - No word limit but if it's very long it better be REALLY good!
5 - Swearing and some adult writing is ok but don't go overboard unless it's really necessary for the story.

That's it! Have fun and thanks for entering!
