I hadn't done anything wrong, but I was given a detention... Along with four other students throughout the building, who were deemed worth by our principal.

This wasn't the kind of detention where you sat at a desk in a boring-ass classroom, surrounded by your fellow deliquents. Us five students in detention that day had to work to keep something that no one should have to fight for: life.

The power to the building was cut off as soon as the school day ended, and we had limited daylight remaining; the school day was over at four. We  traipsed around the empty school, trying to locate every exit to the building, all of which were locked from the outside. We were trapped in a school: intentionally. 

As dusk fell, the PA system crackled to life. "Only one will win."
