santa-is-dead
Something changed at Kingsworth. The quiet students walk down the halls with their heartbeats in their throats. Others chat with their friends in loud and exaggerated voices to drown out the fear. Some whisper the names of the students who would otherwise be forgotten. There is anxiety and there is fear, but no one looks at posters that haunt the hallways. They say "MISSING" in bold red and show faces of ironically smiling students in harsh black and white. No one mourns the missing, only the dead. After yet another disappearance, a small group has had enough. Jack. Katie. Cam. Claire. Sydney. These five friends set out on a mission to find the truth - and just maybe their classmates too. Hopefully they won't join the smiling faces on the walls.
