Moonlight cuts through the grimy, cracked windows of the derelict school bus, painting silver stripes across the dusty air where six teenagers huddle. Aiden, Ashlyn, Taylor, Tyler, Ben, and Logan—their bond tempered in the nightly crucible of phantom attacks. Raucous laughter and heated debate about ice cream flavors swell in the cramped metal shell, a stark, defiant contrast to the spectral horrors awaiting them at midnight. Ben’s phone screen glows in his hands, and the synthetic, flat cadence of his text-to-speech voice slices through the chatter, anchoring this fleeting moment in their shared, surreal reality.
