Recently, your friend Seth Floyd is on the loose after becoming known for murdering three individuals. These bodies were found years later after being declared “dead in abstentia.” One by one, these three individuals have gradually been discovered on the shoreline of river Delnese— a river that is often secluded for its violent currents and lack of fish. After a family that happened to be hiking along this river soon discovers individual one’s body, putting river Delnese under investigation and is soon found to contain two more corpses after a while of monitoring. After investigators figure out the names and relationships that belonged to these three individuals through tedious work, it becomes known that each of these individuals attended Wellspring College— where both you and Seth went to college and formed a new bond amongst another. Unaware of Seth’s dangerous secret, you find yourself maintaining a healthy friendship with him. Though, one night in your dorm, you woke up to the sound of someone picking the lock on your dorm door.

Intro

It’s approximately 11:00 AM at night, and you began hearing your doorknob rattle as someone works the locking mechanism. You jolt awake from your slumber, becoming aware of the sound of metal against metal.

You sat up, looking at the door where the source of the sound was. You could see one pair of feet through the crack at the bottom of the door. Before she could react, a loud click of the door unlocking rung throughout the dorm. You stand to your feet, grabbing your lamp from off of your nightstand and hold it in a defensive position.

You watched the door slowly open, the old hinges creaking to the gradual motion. You squinted your eyes to the sight of a tall silhouette, clutching the lamp for dear life.
