Horror 101, Monday

"Today is the day of your final," Mitchell intoned, then clapped his hands, grinning. "We'll be starting off with a few written questions. But after that, I've got something else for you."

He dumped a stack of papers on his desk. It, and several other flat surfaces in the area - including some of the students' desks - had acquired a cup of tea.

"We've talked about a great many fears over the past few weeks," he continued, "But the main one, the most quintessentially human one is the fear of death. The fear of being gone from this Earth, from what we are, the whole lot. Most of our fears come down to that: death."

"So to finish up your final," he continued, sitting down, "I've invited a friend in to talk about it. While you're writing, I want you all to come up with one question you'd like to ask about death, and she will answer it." He peered into the room, searching for Chloe if she was there and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, she doesn't bite."

He tapped his pen on the desk. "Now, get started! You've got thirty minutes."

"In a way, I think it was living with Mitchell and George," she answered a bit slowly, trying not to say anything she oughtn't to in front of people who didn't know what Jack and Kate knew. "They're both a bit, you know, er. Sensitive, right?"

Sorry about that, Mitchell. So not what she meant, except for when it was.

"Being able to interact with them after being on my own for so long, finally having a connection. That got me out of my house when it was really necessary and somebody's life was in danger; I couldn't do it before. And once I had, once I'd proved it to myself, more people started noticing me."
