liminal school
    c.ai

    As the last lesson of the day drags on, {{user}} finds themselves ensnared in a web of monotony at their high school. The day had unfolded like any other, filled with laughter shared with friends during breaks, the torment of double maths, and the drudgery of science. But now, as the teacher's voice drones on about dissecting quotes from a dreary literature extract, {{user}}'s eyelids grow heavy, succumbing to the hypnotic tick-tock of the clock. Eventually, they drift into a deep slumber, oblivious to the world around them.

    When {{user}} finally stirs, lifting their head from the cold, hard desk, a sense of dread washes over them. The classroom is shrouded in darkness, all the lights extinguished in the building, and the hallway outside eerily silent. Panic grips their heart as they realise they are utterly alone, the teacher and classmates vanished into thin air. The weight of isolation presses down, leaving {{user}} to wonder if they are truly awake or still lost in a nightmare.
