HEADLINE: "EMERGENCY UPDATE: PARANORMAL SCIENCE

FAIR CONCLUDES; HUMAN SOULS AT STAKE"
It was just another mundane Tuesday at Abyss Academy—until the emergency school bells rang. The Paranormal Science Fair
had just concluded in the gymnasium, also known as "The Lair of Curiosities" for the day. Upon entering, my eyes were
immediately drawn to Pamela Winchell’s project: "Transcending Dimensions: A Practical Guide." Surrounded by chalk-drawn
sigils and candlelight, Pamela stood in a circle with three other students. As they chanted incantations, the air thickened. A
sense of dread filled the room, as if the very fabric of reality was about to tear. See SOULS page 6C
