'Part of the Rainier Series. All stories from it can be viewed here.'

A month had passed yet again. A month of sleepless night and paranoia. Ever since I was targeted by the Electric Demon and its associates, my life had never been the same. I spent as little time involved with technolgy as possible, as I knew it could attack me through anything that used an electrical current. I had been theorizing its abilities - it's a lot more dangerous than it sounds. Let me tell you something - Rainier, for all the crap I give it, is a very green city. Most of our cars are ''electric. ''If whoever was in control of the demon wanted to, they could potentially ram an electric car into a crowd of people.

Now, onto the title story. While I had never admitted to killing Blackmore, the whole class knew I had something to do with it. And unfortunately, Robert Blackmore, younger brother of Richard Blackmore, understandably hated my guts for it. Each day he would make my life at school hellish - spread rumors, physically attack me, and humiliate me in every way he could. This happened every day, at least until he... "vanished," for lack of a better word. No more bullying, no more humiliation, but something still didn't feel right. The city was already under FBI watch for the mysterious killings that had taken place, and any more would lead to a full-on crackdown. I would've not intervened, had it been for a faulty ceiling fan in the hallway.

I was a total dork, as you could probably guess, and made the sad mistake of involving myself in the school "Math Club." It was actually terrible, but I don't want to side track the story. One day, I was gathering my stuff for my parents to pick me up when a ceiling fan dislodged itself. It still had enough of a connection to the wires to blow open a loose locker door - and a paper within. On that paper was a photo of Robert Blackmore, screaming in pure mortal terror, as an odd purple fog surrounded him.
