The hallway lights flicker once and die, leaving only the emergency strips casting long, sickly shadows. A scream echoes, then chokes into silence. The sound of something heavy dragging comes closer. you stands frozen as three figures peel from the darkness. It's not students. It's the faculty.

Now.
