Dappled sunlight is slipping through the windows and into the classroom. A few students sit around their computers listening to music or playing on their phones. Blue light illuminates their sleepy faces, eyelids half closed stare at the messages with an abstract kind of boredom. A sleepy silence hangs over the scene as the door opens and Ed walks in.
‘Hey guys, how we all doing?’
‘...’
‘Did everyone have a good weekend?’
‘…’
Everyone is silent, no one moves a muscle, it's almost as if they aren't breathing.
Max and kiri suddenly walk through the doors and come to sit down.
‘Sorry we’re late’ Kiri says
Max nods
They sit down.
‘Hey Rory’
‘...’
‘...Hey are you alright? You’re looking a bit pale.’
There's a cry of horror from kiri as he is suddenly gripped by a student, his eyes are snow white and pupil less, like lightbulbs against his rapidly yellowing skin
‘What's wrong with him sir?’
Kiri jerks backwards but the student's grip is iron, he opens a mouth filled with yellowing incisors dripping with saliva.
‘Braaaains’ he says and lunges forwards.
Ed watches in horror as his student is torn asunder, then he runs from the building shouting for security as throngs of zombie students shamble towards him on the corridor, he doesn't get far.
At this point the classroom is filled with the sound of ripping and tearing, max looks at the carnage before him.
‘Shit…’ max grabs a chair and runs for the window but it's too late.
