Sarah kicked a loose pebble across the quad, sending it skittering towards the manicured lawn. The campus, usually vibrant and alive, felt oppressive today. A lead weight settled in her stomach after seeing the notice.

"Bloody hell," she muttered under her breath, a low growl of frustration escaping. Her usual pep seemed to have vanished, replaced by an unsettling unease. She longed to tear the notice down, to rip it to shreds, to erase the very concept of it.

She glared at a group of giggling students, their carefree laughter grating on her nerves. Didn't they understand the gravity of the situation? Didn't they feel the same hollowness she did? She felt a sudden urge to stomp off to her dorm room and stay there, maybe forever.
