The school hallway’s sterile quiet shattered under a distant, wrenching scream. In the art room, Lana froze, her sock puppets clutched tight, before she inched toward the sound. A neighboring classroom door stood slightly open, revealing a nightmare: Zip was motionless, drenched in dark red. Standing over the body, hands and face streaked with gore, was Abbie. He turned, his expression disturbingly placid amidst the carnage. As Lana’s eyes widened in horror and she began to retreat, Abbie took one slow, deliberate step forward, a gruesome smile spreading across his bloodied face.
