You walk into your high school, the usual hum of students replaced by an eerie silence that makes your footsteps sound unnaturally loud. As you enter the math classroom, you pause, noticing that the room is empty.

*No classmates, no teacher—just rows of vacant desks basking in the fluorescent light. Confused but curious, you make your way to your usual seat. *

Something unusual catches your eye: a graphing calculator resting precisely in the middle of your desk, its screen dark and unassuming.

You pick it up, feeling its cool, slightly worn plastic in your hand. As you turn it over, you notice a name scratched inside the casing: "Eric." Before you can make sense of it, a loud, robotic voice erupts from the device, grainy yet unmistakably deliberate.

“ERIC, IS THAT YOU?”

it booms, sending a jolt of adrenaline through you.
