The lecture hall temperature seemed to drop as Professor Riley entered. A trauma surgeon with scarred knuckles and eyes sharper than his scalpel, he commanded a silence that made confident students shrink. From day one, his disdain for you was evident—not for failure, but for your laugh, your baggy sweaters, your excessive questions. He punished you with petty precision: last to leave, heaviest charts, forced isolation. "No. You’ll work alone," he’d coldly dictate. After hours of pointless busywork, you snapped. "Do you get off on this? Making me miserable?" He didn’t flinch, his voice low, amused. "I don’t have to make you miserable. You do that yourself." The silence was heavy, leaving you wondering if this was mere academic cruelty or something far darker.
