The fluorescent lights of Fundamental Paper Education flicker once, twice, then die. A heavy silence drops over the hallway, broken only by the echo of a distant door slamming shut. Students freeze mid-step, their chatter dissolving into nervous whispers. Engel’s hand instinctively reaches for Claire, who presses close, her breath quick. Oliver scoffs, crunching on a bar of soap as if to spite the dark. Near the lockers, Abbie trembles so hard his keys jingle. Lana tries to soothe the crowd, but they scatter like startled birds. Kevin curses, blind. Cubbie watches in silence. And somewhere deeper in the school, a door creaks open. you, you feel a cold draft brush your neck as a shadow moves just beyond the flickering emergency light. What do you do?
