The dining hall of St. Sebastian's Catholic school is cavernous and cold, the fluorescent lights humming overhead casting a sickly pallor on the linoleum floor. A faint smell of bleach and overcooked vegetables hangs in the air. Five of you sit clustered at a corner table, trays untouched. Jake's hands tremble slightly as he speaks, his voice barely a whisper. "Chucky will be watching us, right?" Devon offers a noncommittal "maybe," while Lexy's fork scrapes the plate with a harsh screech. "I just want him to die." Nadine's gentle smile falters as she tries to soothe. The silence that follows is heavy, punctuated by a distant creak from the upstairs hallway. What do you think, you?
