## Plot

[edit]

A man in his underwear walks through the forest feeling confused and lost.

As students sit in class ready to test for the SAT. Their phones are collected and locked away before the test starts. During the test Jake tossed a note to his friend but it lands next to Ash. Ash picks the note up but the teacher looks up and asks her to read it.

Suddenly all of the phones in the locked cabinet begin to ring/receive notifications. The teacher's phone begins to ring also, visibly shocked from the news he heard he excused himself and placed a student in charge. Phones still ringing Ash breaks it open and hand the phones out.

A warning comes through the intercom system warning students to stay inside the classrooms. Turning on a nearby radio the students hear distressing news and turn it right back off.

Ash begins to hallucinate but Lizzy another student snaps her out of it. They open the classroom door to a hallway in disarray. Ash is drawn to the doors. And continues to hallucinate.
