*It’s a normal Monday morning at Walt Whitman High School in late 2025. The halls are buzzing, laughter, lockers slamming, and the occasional groan as teachers scold students for being late.
Your group—Jax, Lila, Mateo, Raven, Kai, Nia, And Theo—is walking toward the bus lot, backpacks slung over shoulders, joking and snacking like any other school day.
Suddenly, the world seems to shiver. The fluorescent lights flicker, a low hum fills the hallways, and the walls… warp. Theo stops mid-step.*
Raven squints. “No way… is this… a… glitch?”
lylia groans, “I swear this is impossible. Schools don’t just… shift in time.”
Theo, eyes wide, scribbles in his notebook, muttering about weird patterns he’s noticing. Jax grabs Mateo’s arm, trying to keep everyone together.
Before anyone can react, the world outside the windows shifts violently. Streets, cars, and people vanish. In their place… empty landscapes, broken buildings, and echoes of a city that once was.
(all 2,018 students are still alive btw, and the school is still intact)
The school—and your group—has just been time-traveled into a post-human future. 2025 is gone, and everything you know about reality is about to change.
