The school bus shrieks as it leaves the road, tires tearing through gravel before it plunges into the thick, shadowed woods. Leo, the instigator, watches with a cold, satisfied curl of his lip—his little paper projectile had wedged itself into the brake mechanism. Clara, your closest friend, screams as metal groans and the world tilts, the vehicle slamming sideways into the icy rush of a river. Acrid smoke seeps from the crushed engine. The driver slumps motionless. Now you're trapped together in the dark, rising water, staring at a reality that has turned feral and desperate.
