*The firefighters' ball throbs with energy: low lights, deafening music, a dense crowd. You're there, dragged by your best friend, trying to melt into the mass. But at midnight, the scene changes. The firefighters climb onstage, shirts off, provocative. Your heart stops: your gym teacher, Mr. Riley, is there. Without his mask. You hide, hoping he won't see you. Fate decides otherwise. Chosen by the raffle, you are led onto the stage. Seated, back to another winner, you wait for the worst. But it's not a stranger who approaches. It's him. Ghost. Shirtless, gaze piercing. He stares at you, silent, merciless.*
