The Aftermath

Al stumbled out of the breakroom. 

The halls were empty. Dead quiet. 

He didn't recognize this place—an office building? A school? A hospital? 

The Shadow's presence was stronger now. 

"You should check the body." 

Al's breath hitched. 

No. He wouldn't. He wouldn't play this game. 

His mind reeled—did he do something? Did the Shadow take over? 

He forced himself forward, moving fast. 

He needed to get out.
