The school hallway fell into a frozen, breathless silence. Slats of light from the high windows cut through the dimness, illuminating your trembling form, the angry red marks already blooming on your skin.

You pressed your hands against your face, trying to smother the throbbing ache as the world you knew crumbled to pieces around you.
