The following morning dawned on a bustling Thursday, with the usual vibrant energy echoing through the corridors of the dorm.
Yet, this particular morning held an unusual quality; despite the urgent announcement over the intercom urging everyone to clear the corridors and head to their classrooms, a crowd had inexplicably gathered. Whispers filled the air, a mix of curiosity and anticipation, as students paused their routines, drawn together by something unspoken that stirred beneath the surface.
A low hum of murmurs, hushed whispers, and rampant gossip circulated the air, all centered around a chilling mystery: the disappearance of several students who had yet to return from the Halloween event held just days before.
The atmosphere now felt heavy with unease, as concerned voices exchanged theories and fears about what might have happened to those who had vanished without a trace.
