The biology block

If you remember correctly, your friend Kim should have just had biology, while you were in your chemistry class – with luck, you might find her still in the biology building. To get to the biology building, you have to go round the library, and past the ruined physics block. You look around warily as you step out into the bleak, half-deserted college, but see no signs of life other than a few students huddled in the other buildings, like those you just left in chemistry.

As you near the physics block, you see the full measure of the destruction wreaked by the demon: the building, which had been very solidly constructed, is missing most of its front wall, exposing several of the classrooms. You shudder when you see the deep red stain across the rubble that litters the floor, extending inside the inner part of the building. The back of the physics block is intact, but the power appears to be cut off as a result of the demon’s rampage; the inner rooms are dark. You catch a glimpse of what might be movement inside. You hope it’s a human – it certainly didn’t seem to be something the size of the demon – but you hurry on towards the biology labs, and break into a run as your nerves get the better of you.

You keep glancing back towards the physics block, which is off to your left, and it comes as a shock to see movement in the corner of your eye, from your right hand side. You look round sharply to see what it is, and stop looking where you are going. You trip on a stray piece of rubble, and tumble to the ground. You look up in terror, just in time to see a dark shape approaching rapidly across the bleak courtyard.

It lopes towards you like an enormous dog, and the hunger in its eyes fills you with dread, as you realise you are its intended prey. You scrabble to get up, but you are too slow: with one last leap, the beast is upon you, your scream cut short as its fangs rip into your throat. Excruciating pain floods your mind, and slowly your vision turns to black as your life drains away.
