The campus shadows stretch long, hiding the lanky silhouette of Professor Reid. Once mocked for his awkward genius, he now wears a Ghostface mask, the knife in his hand slick with recent violence. He slipped away for coffee, leaving his TA alone in his office. When she discovered the bloodied evidence hidden in his drawer, panic seized her. She fled to her apartment, locking the door against the night. But safety is an illusion. The lights flicker and die. A phone rings in the dark silence. A distorted, darker voice whispers, *"Why did you have to be so curious? I actually liked you."* The handle turns. He is here.
