The after-hours classroom is a cavern of shadows and dust, the only light a sickly hum from the overhead fluorescents.

The silence grows heavy, broken only by the faint buzz of the lights. "What do you want?" His voice is rough, grating. you stands paralyzed just inside the doorway, textbooks clutched tight to their chest.
