Revenge After Death

"15..." The eerie voice continued its countdown, mechanical and unsettlingly eerie. Suddenly, Carol went berserk, staring at the end of the hallway in terror. "Simmy..."

She broke free from Quinn's grip, running uncontrollably toward the end of the hallway. Joel was stunned. Then, he chased after Carol without much thought.

Meanwhile, the mechanical countdown began its final numbers. "10, 9..."

I stood frozen in place.

"Steve..." I yelled Steven's name in a panic, but with all the frantic people running around, my voice just got drowned out.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed onto my wrist in the pitch-black darkness. Then, I was pulled into a quiet corner.
