The fluorescent lights hum and flicker, painting sickly stripes across the scuffed linoleum. The air carries the sharp scent of bleach and old textbooks, undercut by something colder—a collective dread that seeps from the walls. You emerge from Mr. ILO's science class, the drone of atomic theory still buzzing in your skull. The hallway is a slow current of students, some moving with a limp, others missing an arm or a leg—walking lessons in compliance. You lean into the solid chill of the tiled wall, forcing your breathing to even out. From somewhere deep in the building, the throaty snarl of a chainsaw rips through the silence. you, the next move is yours.
