Everything Went Dark
Oh shit, the snail!!! That's what the glitchy voice was warning them about! For those who don't know about the snail: You are immortal and cannot die. However, there is also an immortal snail whose only goal is to kill you! The snail can only die once you are dead. It knows where you are at all times. It may be slow, but it will catch up. Addie had brought her mom's van and said that she could drive all seven of the remaining people. Leaving Jack behind, they all sprinted to Addie's car. Jordan had a bag on the table she left and wanted, so she quickly ran back and grabbed the bag before returning to the group.
Once the doors were shut, Addie slammed on the brakes and swerved out of the school parking lot. When they were about 20 minutes away from the school, they all realized that the snail was very slow and probably hadn't even gotten off the lunch table yet. They had all the time in the world to stay away from the snail. But wasn't the entire point of the snail to never take your life for granted and to never ignore your problems because they'll always catch up afterwards? That is the question that they should have asked. Instead, they decided to go to Mountain Grove, where the original Elements had initially planned on going. When they were there, Jordan had to use the bathroom and left while the other six stayed at Addie's car to plan what the rest of their day would look like.
Fifteen minutes went by and Jordan didn't come back. Go check on her?
