HIGH SCHOOL: - There’s always some kind of drama going on between the lead actors of the school play, and there’s never been a year where someone didn’t go missing backstage. - The cafeteria is so loud your ears are bleeding, but no one is making a sound. - The culinary arts room always smells of rotting meat and tears. - The lights in the theater must always be left on, even during power outages and lockdowns. The school doesn’t have the funding to remove whatever's behind the curtains. - There's a girl who never leaves the band practice rooms. You can hear her attempting the same song for hours on repeat and see her through the windows, but if you enter the room no one is there. - The metronome never stops, even when everyone has left the band room. - When the tornado siren goes off, do not head to the school basement, and instead find an interior classroom. - Last time someone went down into the basement, no one ever came out. - The choir is known for the way they stare at their audience during performances, hungry and foaming at the mouth. - The barbed wire fence around the school is bordered by grasslands, and you don’t know if it’s to protect you from whatever’s out there or to keep you in to be preyed upon. - The bus driver won’t talk to you unless you misbehave, and you will never be able to forget it if they do. #gothic #writing #promts #vesta #high #school #education MIDWESTERN: SUMMER CAMP: [ I'm bored as hell and Siren inspired me- ]
