A low, electric dread fills the school gymnasium. Mister Dash presides over a lethal dodgeball match, teachers against students, where the penalty for failure is permanent. The rules are stark on the wall: touch your hair and you're out, step over the line and it's over. One by one, my classmates have fallen. Now I'm the only target left, evading the relentless volleys as the teachers' smirks widen. From the sidelines, Engel and Claire's encouragement shrieks through the air, their voices thin and shaking with fear.
