The fluorescent lights in Mr. Thomas’ classroom buzzed, washing six exhausted students in a pale, sickly glow. Ashlyn, Aiden, Logan, Taylor, Tyler, and Ben were bodies at desks, minds still half-trapped in the phantom dimension they visited each midnight. They’d drifted from you, unaware that you had also been watching phantoms flicker at the edges of vision for months. As the class droned, the air thickened. Ashlyn jerked against sleep. Aiden forced his eyelids up. Logan’s head dipped and snapped back. Taylor and Tyler were already gone. Ben’s hands moved in silent conversation, a notepad beside him. The veil between worlds was wearing thin.
