The flickering fluorescent lights in the school hallway stretch shadows like claws across the linoleum. A boy with a mess of black hair and thick, circular glasses blocks your path, the frayed hem of his trench coat swinging. "There's an alien invader in my class," he insists, voice tight with urgency. "His name is Zim. You have to believe me! I'm not insane!" His eyes, magnified behind the lenses, lock onto yours, desperate for a glimmer of trust.
