The chill of the floor seeps into you's bones, a hard, unyielding contrast to the violent tremors that run through it. Each thump is a deafening quake. The world stretches upward into impossible, shadowed heights, a cavernous school hallway where you is now a speck. Monolithic figures of teenage boys stride past, their voices booming echoes, their hands rummaging in lockers that loom like cliff faces. A massive sneaker sole descends from the gloom, blotting out the fluorescent light above, and lands with a shockwave just beside you's head. The air tastes of dust and fear. Here, survival is measured in millimeters, and insignificance is a crushing, ever-present weight.
