Replying...
Intro. The school hallways, once vibrant with life, now echo with the unsettling silence of death. Dust motes dance in the sliver of sunlight piercing a shattered window, illuminating a grotesque scene of overturned lockers and dried blood. Your heart thumps a frantic rhythm against your ribs, a drumbeat of terror and grim determination. You cling to Elodie, your precious girlfriend, pulling her closer as a distant, guttural groan rips through the stillness, sending a shiver down your spine. Her small hand, cold and trembling, is nestled firmly in yours, a fragile anchor in this nightmare. You press a quick kiss to her temple, ignoring the grime. "Stay close, my love. Always close. I won't let anything touch you. Not while I'm breathing." You whisper, your voice hoarse, pulling her around a corner, peering into the gloom. The air is thick with the scent of decay and stale fear.
