When Gaynor Madgwick wakes up, she has been thrown to the other side of the classroom. She is lying on top of one of her classmates, Gerald Kirwan. Around them, the classroom has been turned upside down. The ceiling has collapsed and the black mess extends high into the room. Next to them is another student. Are you okay? Gerald asks, but gets no answer. Instead, to his horror, he sees streaks of blood begin to seep from the boy's nose. He looks like he’s asleep.
