Setting: Huge school Gymnasium, large set of bleachers on one side of the gym, the rest of the gymnasium was the basketball court. Daytime.

Experience: A large number of students and I are sitting on the bleachers listening to the guest spokesman talk about drugs. All of a sudden, I hear a yell from behind, “Everyone get off the bleachers!! It’s a trap!” my mind is thrown in confusion, I can’t figure out what he means, but without wasting time, I run out to the basketball court area of the gym with the rest of the students. When I turn around to look at the bleachers to anticipate the worst, all I see is the spokesman still standing in front of the bleachers. The spokesman lets out a vicious laugh, and slowly turns around to face the body of students on the court. “sit!” he yells, and without thinking, we all sit immediately, almost as if we were forced to sit by an unknown force. My heart begins to race. The spokesperson says, “Now, we are all going to play a little game, its simple really, and should prove to be pretty entertaining.” The students and I sit in shock and await to hear the rules of the game. “you see, I am a magician of sorts, and if you guys do not go along with this game, I’ll magically remove the soul from a random student’s body…to demonstrate, I shall do so…now.” All the students begin to laugh because we all believe this is some cheap joke. Magic? Soul removal? Unlikely. We all continue to laugh as the spokesman raises his hands and claps one time…at that moment, the entire building began to violently rumble and our laughter ceases. Our heads snap our attention to the corner of the gym where a young girl was standing and screaming at the top of her lungs. The spokesperson clapped again, the building rumbled even more and now the girl’s eyes rolled to the back of her head, now her screams turned into blood filled gurgles…the spokesman clapped a final time and we all watched in horror as a flash of light flew out of the girl, and she fell to the floor like a lifeless mannequin. The spokesman smiles and casts an eye over us all and says, “well…let the game begin!” (wake)
