A DISH BEST SERVED COLD
HELLBORNE, VERMONT
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1998
Chad Jackson Was going to die tonight.
It was easy to tell. First off, he was scared out of his mind, and scared
men rarely made smart decisions. For instance, he was unarmed save for a
pocketknife and his own sheer audacity, and he was trespassing on the
illustrious halls of Hellborne Academy in the middle of the night.
And—secondly, and most importantly—he was alone.
There were movies about this. There were ways to prevent it. But Chad
Jackson had thought he was untouchable until, of course, he realized just
how fleshy he really was. His fear was only exacerbated by the deathmark
burned onto the back of his hand. It felt like a hundred knives stabbing
directly into his metacarpal bones, but he was so afraid he could barely feel
anything at all.

The taste of fear was metallic on his tongue, almost the exact flavor of
blood, while his ears pounded with the rush of his own staccato heartbeat.
His lungs burned as he gasped for breath—he tried to scream.
He managed.
But it wasn’t loud enough.
It would never be loud enough.
And no matter which hall he chose, which stairs he climbed, which
janitor’s closets he tried or doors he locked, Chad Jackson would never
shake the shadow behind him.
He didn’t know what he’d done to deserve this—wrong place, wrong
time, wrong friends? There was a football game going on in the stadium
just on the other side of campus. The bright field lights streaked in through
the school’s stained-glass windows like slices of glass. He just wanted to
stash his weed in his locker before his old man gave him another
shakedown tonight when he got home, and he knew the school never locked
its doors at night.
He’d done this a dozen times before. The halls had always been kinda
creepy, the shadows a bit long, but nothing ever chased him before. As one
of the apex predators of Hellborne Academy, he was always the one
chasing.
One right turn and he could’ve lived, but he’d decided to take the wrong
one. He was never big on horror movies—his first mistake—and from the
ones he did watch, he always figured he’d be the final guy about to hook up
with the final girl, and they’d escape the chain-saw massacre and make their
way into the sunset.
He wasn’t final-guy material.
Frantic and fearful, Chad cut back into the locker room, where he’d
always found safety, and pushed himself into one of the lockers where he
usually shoved the nerds. Burrowed deep. Held his breath.
No one would look for him there.
No one.
