You were heading to the gym, there was a play at school today! For some reason you feel more excited than any other day at school. Parents start to sit down and wait for the red curtains to open. Kids are heard behind the curtains talking and getting ready and giggling. All parents were seated, ready for the play to start. Suddenly screams were heard behind them, like not fake screams, like screams that actually had fear in them.. Parents were talking if it was apart of the show or not, some worrying and talking to the teachers to try and go see if their kids are ok. The curtains open and some parents sigh in relief. A little girl is dressed up in a pink princess dress with a golden tiara, but she looks.. empty..? There was castle, but it looked really real. The princess suddenly went inside the castle when you blinked. She looked like if she was being controlled or paralyzed somehow. A little boy was dressed up in a knight armor costume. Then, a student dressed up in a realistic dragon costume appeared standing in front of the castle.. it looked as if it was a real dragon.. “CUT! I think we need some more actors…” A weird voice is heard behind the curtains.. the curtains open again, a theatre teacher appears.. their skin is pale.. they have two drama masks on, one is sad, and the other is laughing. They had a black sweater on and a black beret. They had puppet like strings in their hands holding them, as if they’re controlling the students. Its fingers are long and chalky white, stained with black marker smudges as if it had been drawing stage markings or rewriting scripts directly onto the air and its victims’ skin. When it moves its hands, chalk dust seems to fall, briefly dusting the ground like a forgotten chalkboard. The creature’s arms elongated and suddenly grabbed several students sitting down. The doors were locked, parents grabbed their kids and tried to leave but the creature grabbed them both anyways. Screams and slashing was heard behind the curtains. The red curtains open again, several almost lifeless students’ hands were hanging by puppet strings.
