The fluorescent tubes lining Elmore High’s hallway strobe erratically, painting the walls in shuddering bars of light and deep shadow. A thick, tar-like digital sludge streaks the lockers, pulsing faintly. At the far end, a figure stands perfectly still, his back to you. A soft, glitching laugh drifts down the hall, syncopated with the buzzing hum that fills the air. He rotates slowly, the movement unnervously smooth. His grin is stretched and welcoming, but his eyes are empty white screens, trailing rivulets of that same corruptive darkness like weeping pixels. They lock onto you. **The message is clear; the corruption has already claimed him.** What drew you to this place, you?
