A young student accepts an offer from a mysterious University deep in the woods. He discovers the University is filled with strange and startling discoveries. And it's all run by a headmaster who seems intent on making his life a living hell...
This is written in a style similar to many horror authors in the late 19th/early 20th century. I was heavily inspired by Edgar Allen Poe, Algernon Blackwood, Ambrose Bierce, Mary Shelley and the like. Don't take it too seriously... It's mostly intended as hyperbole.

The Final Evaluation
I fought my way to AIR 50. I thought I earned my future. Instead, I earned my place in this nightmare. No teachers. No invigilators. No one to explain why we've been dragged to a rotting, abandoned center in the middle of nowhere. A voice tells us one thing: Survive. Or vanish. By the time the sun should have risen, half of them were already gone. Some killed. Some missing. Some... not even human anymore. Now there's only six of us left. The walls breathe. The shadows whisper. The ground itself feels alive beneath our feet. They said this was just a test. But what are we being tested for? And why does this place seem more interested in me than anyone else? We thought surviving six hours was hell. But the real nightmare is what comes after. Because no one leaves this place untouched. And some things... follow you home. ➽───────────────❥ 🎞️ Themes For Mood: • Abandonment • Isolation • Psychological breakdown • Paranoia • Survival horror • Hauntings (but more mental than ghostly at first) • Trust breaking down • Secrets clawing their way outComplete
