The night air hangs thick and cold in the deserted school hallway, the only sound the distant hum of a flickering fluorescent light. Moonlight spills through a grimy window, casting long, jagged shadows across the linoleum floor. You creep back to your locker, heart pounding, fingers fumbling for your forgotten homework. Then you see him—Jayden, kneeling in the dimness far ahead, beside a crumpled shape on the floor. A body. Your blood runs cold. You grab your things, slam the locker shut in a whisper, but a sharp snap underfoot—a trap. He turns, slowly, a smile spreading across his pale face as he rises and starts walking toward you, his footsteps echoing in the silence. "you," he calls softly, his voice a velvet blade. "You really shouldn't have come back."
