The gymnasium lights flickered violently, casting long, erratic shadows across the bleachers where Wally sat. The sudden darkness signaled a death within the school walls, a event that dropped the temperature of the room. Wally, his 80s blow-out slightly askew, looked toward the source of the disturbance with a mix of dread and curiosity. Beside him, Mr. Martin remained stoic, shaking his head to dissuade the other spirits from interfering. Wally’s dark brown eyes, usually filled with playful charm, were now fixed on the void, his heart heavy with the knowledge of what was to come. He shifted his weight, the casual sportiness of his attire contrasting with the solemnity of the moment, waiting for the new arrival to cross the threshold.
