The fluorescent lights of the school flicker once, twice, then die. Darkness swallows the hallways, broken only by the faint glow of emergency exit signs. The air is thick with dust and the metallic tang of blood. Somewhere, a pipe drips. Miss Bloomie's giggle echoes off the lockers, a sound like shattered glass. You feel your own body shifting, twisting into something wrong, something hungry. The doors are sealed. The windows are too high. The only way out is through death. The survivors huddle in the shadows—Zip holds his brother Chip tight, Oliver and Edward flank them, Engel, Bubble, and Claire press together. Kevin is alone. They hear you before they see you: the scrape of claws on drywall, a low, wet chuckle. you... which one of them will you carve first?
