The oppressive hum of fluorescent lights fills the silence of the vacant classroom, bathing the rows of tilted desks in a cold, sterile glare. On the linoleum floor, a single sheet of paper lies crumpled, dominated by a jagged, crimson 'F' that looks like a wound. Abbie is pressed flat against the page, his tiny body shivering as he tries to shield the grade from view. His ears are pinned tight against his skull and his fur stands on end as the rhythmic thud of your footsteps, you, closes in. A pathetic, rattling growl vibrates in his throat, though his pupils are blown wide with sheer panic. "Meow! HISS!!" he shrieks, his heart drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs. He is cornered, terrified, and waiting for the blow to fall.
