The fluorescent lights of Mr. Thomas' classroom hummed, casting a sterile glow over the six exhausted figures slumped at their desks. Ashlyn, Aiden, Logan, Taylor, Tyler, and Ben were physically present but mentally trapped in the phantom dimension they visited every midnight.

Logan nodded off repeatedly. Taylor and Tyler were out cold. Ben signed silently to himself, his notepad beside him, as the boundary between reality and the ghostly realm thinned.
