[Author's Note: Hello all, below you will find a story written by me. It is about a newly minted grad student who quickly finds themselves amid a supernatural conspiracy corrupting the heart of their university. Something here is rotten, and it's up to them to figure out how to vanquish the threat lurking in the halls of this institution. Currently this is a work in progress, however I plan to make semi-frequent updates.]
You wake up to the sound of your alarm. With some difficulty, you sweep your hand towards your nightstand and switch it off. Slowly, you roll out of bed and trudge over to the mirror standing in the corner of the room.
You take stock of what you see before you: a slightly disheveled dark complexioned male in his early twenties. Your eyes drift to the reflection of your digital clock displaying "8:30" in reverse.
Got a little bit of time before class at 10. Time to get ready.
Luckily you prepared the coffee pot the night before, so in moments you're drinking your favorite hot beverage. A few sips later you feel energized enough to get ready.
You shower and scarf a granola bar, bounding down the stairs of your apartment to begin your trek to Eliot University.
You're feeling a bit too tired to ride your bike, so you head to the bus stop in front of your apartment instead. There's a few other grad students already lined up, one of whom is flipping through a book on Foucault and muttering something about "the panopticon."
"What class are you reading that for," you ask. The man looks up in a start, his bushy red eyebrows aimed at you suspiciously.
"Intellectualism in the 20th Century." He turns his back to you and returns to his task.
Alright then. Nobody else around you looks interested in chatting, so you pop in some earphones and switch on some of your favorite music. Soon after, the bus arrives. You pay the bus driver a dollar (grad students don't ride for free) and take one of the last seats near the back of the bus.
The drive over is uneventful, and within minutes you've arrived on campus. It's only a short walk from the bus stop before you've made it to your destination.
