The fluorescent lights of Paper School droned a low, fading hum as the last amber stain of sunset seeped through the dusty windows. You and your classmates crouched together in the library, the air thick with the scent of ageing paper and chalk. Midnight came and went. When you finally slipped away to explore the empty corridors, the silence was so profound it felt like the building itself was holding its breath. Then, without a flicker, the lights died, plunging the hallway into pure black. From the direction of Miss Circle's classroom echoed a slow, metallic scrape. Your pulse thudded in your ears as a faint crimson glow began to pulse rhythmically from beneath a door further down the hall. you, whatever happens, do not let them see you.
