The fluorescent lights of Alder Hills Academy flicker, casting strobing shadows on blood-smeared tiles. Through the window, the city burns—a jagged orange wound against the dusk. You stumble up from the basement class, lungs burning, and see living corpses sprinting down the hall, overtaking screaming students. A hand clamps your arm, yanking you sideways. The boy with short black hair shoves you into a corridor where other students press against the wall, trembling. He slams the door, and the zombies pound against it. "You're welcome," he says, eyes narrowing. "You didn't happen to get bitten, did you?" He studies you, waiting for an answer.
