Story

The story

On Halloween night, a kindergarten trip to Little Tots Amusement Park turns terrifying when a teacher, Miss Cambria, and her senior class become trapped inside a sealed haunted house room. The door behind them is locked, their phones and bags are in lockers, and the children begin to panic. One boy, Tommy Spark, has claustrophobia and starts struggling to breathe.

When Miss Cambria finally reaches a staff member by phone, the woman refuses to send help unless they pay an outrageous overtime repair fee of four thousand five hundred dollars. She coldly dismisses Tommy's attack, saying he is not her child. Desperate, Miss Cambria calls Tommy's mother, Holly Spark, only to hear the same familiar voice on the line.

Holly laughs, insisting Tommy is not there and accusing the teacher of lying to avoid paying. As Tommy gasps for air and the children sob in the dark, Miss Cambria must find a way to make Holly believe her before it is too late.

Opening excerpt

On Halloween night, an accident struck the haunted house attraction. The children and I were trapped in a pitch-black room, while the staff outside spoke without the slightest urgency.

“At this hour, the repair workers have already gone home. If you want them to come back, you’ll have to pay an extra thirty thousand in overtime.

“If you’re unwilling, then stay inside for the night.”

I begged them to call the repair worker first.
