The flat, final beep of a heart monitor dissolves into the buzz of a schoolyard. You suck in a sharp breath, your awareness slamming back into a body that is not quite your own, inside the rendered world of 'The Smartest Chemistry.' You are you, the story's villain.

She doesn't look up as your shadow falls across her, but her entire frame goes rigid, her face paling with instant, recognizable dread. — Please. Leave me alone.
