A student trapped alone in Lincoln High during a zombie outbreak must survive 30 days, building barricades, rationing water and food, and signaling for rescue while the vice principal guides them over

## Key Takeaways

- Survival depends on resourcefulness: barricading, rationing, and using noise and distraction to move safely.
- The story builds suspense through an unreliable authority figure whose instructions and identity become increasingly ambiguous.
- Isolation and the promise of rescue are used to create tension, with rescue never arriving on the student's terms.

## What the video covers

- A student is stuck as the last person at Lincoln High after the principal leaves to investigate a scream, then the vice principal, Mrs. Reyes, warns everyone to lock their doors.
- A figure with Mr. Hale's knock tries to get into the classroom, but the student barricades the door with 32 desks, with the teacher's desk placed last.
- The student rations water from the lost and found and science lab, filling 19 gallons to last about 19 days, while the power is out and the tap weakens.
- Mrs. Reyes communicates through the PA system, offering reassurance, instructions for signaling with a V on the football field, and a friendly relationship over time.
- A walk-in freezer with a zombie-like figure in a hairnet and a hive of undead outside the east fence are recurring dangers.
- The school bell, running on battery, lures the undead to the east side of the building, creating a window for the student to move through the west wing.
- The student finds food in the kitchen storeroom, including canned peaches, beans, corn, and chocolate milk, and fills a mop bucket to carry supplies back.
- A helicopter arrives, but the student is not on board after the pilot flies off, and the speaker later reveals that Mrs. Reyes knew the student had left the room.
- The story closes with rules for survival, a final twist that the vice principal was never on the other side, and an ominous bell ringing on time.

Answers

## Questions about this video

Who is Mrs. Reyes and can the student trust her?

Mrs. Reyes is the vice principal who communicates through the PA system, offering instructions and friendship. The story later suggests she may not be fully trustworthy, since the student's movements seem known to her and she never provides a clear rescue.

How does the student manage water and food during the outbreak?

The student fills containers from the lost and found and science lab, gathering 19 gallons of water. Later, the student raids the kitchen storeroom for canned goods and milk, using a mop bucket to transport supplies.

What role does the school bell play in the story?

The battery-powered bell rings every 50 minutes and draws the undead to the east side of the building. The student realizes this creates an opening to move safely through the west wing.

Speaker A

Your detention just got longer. 30 days longer. It's 3:40, and you're the last student at Lincoln High. Mr. Hale went to check on a scream in the gym. He took your phone with him. Then the speaker over the board clicks on. It's Mrs. Reyes, the vice principal. Stay in your rooms. Lock your doors. Do not open them for anyone.

00:14

Speaker A

Reyes, the vice principal. Stay in your rooms. Lock your doors. Do not open them for anyone.

00:21

Speaker A

A long pause. Even if you know them.

00:37

Speaker A

problem, the door. It opens into the room. So, anything out there only has to push. You turn the lock. Then, you build a wall. 32 desks. His desk goes last.

00:48

Speaker A

10 minutes later, somebody knocks. Two slow, one fast. Mr. Hale's knock. You don't move. He knocks again. Same knock, same speed. He doesn't say your name. He doesn't say anything at all.

01:00

Speaker A

At 3:10 in the morning, the speaker clicks on again. Static. A breath. Then, Mrs. Reyes in her cheerful morning voice.

01:08

Speaker A

First problem, the door. It opens into the room. So, anything out there only has to push. You turn the lock. Then, you build a wall. 32 desks. His desk goes last.

01:19

Speaker A

Second problem, water. The lights died at noon. The tap still runs, but weaker every hour. So, you fill everything.

01:27

Speaker A

It's the first time you've ever tidied this room.

01:40

Speaker A

again. Then, something new. If anybody can hear me, flash your lights. Your classroom has an emergency bucket.

01:48

Speaker A

Then, you check your supplies. Half a granola bar, one water bottle, a math book. "Help is coming," she said. She didn't say when. It's 30 days away.

01:53

Speaker A

I see you. Room 214. Stay in your room. You're safe there. It's the nicest thing a vice principal has ever said to you.

02:03

Speaker A

At 3:10 in the morning, the speaker clicks on again. Static. A breath. Then, Mrs. Reyes in her cheerful morning voice.

02:17

Speaker A

pressed against the east fence, your side of the building. Third problem, the bell. It rings every 50 minutes all day long and every time they crowd the east doors and stare up at it. That's when you notice, while the

02:31

Speaker A

Good morning, Lincoln High. Today's lunch is pizza. Have a wonderful day.

02:37

Speaker A

Fourth problem, food. The cafeteria is downstairs in the west wing. At the 10:50 bell, you go down the west stairs, past the trophy case, past the main office. The blinds are down. A lamp is on inside. You don't knock. She doesn't

02:51

Speaker A

Click.

03:01

Speaker A

You fill a mop bucket and sprint back up before the bell stops. That night, the speaker clicks on.

03:06

Speaker A

Outside your window, every head in the parking lot turns toward the sound.

03:19

Speaker A

The school's is in the boiler room. You switch off its power. You open a hot tap to let the air in. Then, you open the drain at the bottom. Six buckets, enough for a week. Every day at 3:40, Mr. Hale

03:31

Speaker A

Second problem, water. The lights died at noon. The tap still runs, but weaker every hour. So, you fill everything.

03:38

Speaker A

On day seven, you go back for more food. Same bell, same stairs, but the walk-in freezer is open. Something inside is still wearing a hairnet. It shuffles out right between you and the door. Then, the bell stops. When the bell stops,

03:52

Speaker A

Every bottle in the lost and found. Every beaker in the science lab next door. One person needs about a gallon a day. You fill 19 gallons. That's 19 days, if nothing goes wrong.

03:56

Speaker A

It clangs into the dish rack. The hairnet turns toward the noise. You walk past it with your heart in your ears.

04:04

Speaker A

On the second night, the announcements come again. Then, something new. "If anybody can hear me, flash your lights."

04:16

Speaker A

The cafeteria is theirs now. That night, they come up the east stairs. They hit the stairwell door again and again. It doesn't move. That door opens toward the stairs. To get to you, they'd have to pull and they don't pull. Rule two, they

04:31

Speaker A

Your classroom has an emergency bucket. Inside, there's a flashlight. You flash it at the window. Three times.

04:45

Speaker A

Every night now, you press the call button by the door and she answers. She tells you about her cat, Biscuit. You tell her how you got detention. She laughs so hard she has to put the microphone down. It's the first laugh

04:57

Speaker A

A minute later. "I see you. Room 214. Stay in your room. You're safe there."

05:03

Speaker A

Room 214, I need a favor. Mrs. Reyes has a plan. To a pilot, a V on the ground means we need help. An X means we need a doctor. She wants a V on the football field, 30 to 50 ft long,

05:17

Speaker A

It's the nicest thing a vice principal has ever said to you.

05:22

Speaker A

The roof hatch is in the janitor's closet. From the roof, a steel ladder runs down the back wall to the field.

05:28

Speaker A

On the third morning at 8:00, the bell rings. The power is dead. The bell isn't. It runs on a battery, and nobody told it school is canceled.

05:35

Speaker A

At 11:00 at night, the east bell rings. Mrs. Reyes, keeping her promise. Every one of them turns away from the field.

05:42

Speaker A

Outside, every one of them turns. Then, they walk toward it. By noon, 200 of them are pressed against the east fence, your side of the building.

05:55

Speaker A

knocks on it, two slow, one fast. You stop breathing. He wanders off toward the fence. You finish the V. Back in your room, the speaker clicks on.

06:05

Speaker A

Third problem, the bell. It rings every 50 minutes all day long, and every time, they crowd the east doors and stare up at it. That's when you notice: while the bell rings, nothing is watching the rest of the building.

06:23

Speaker A

Somebody is coming. That night, [music] Mrs. Reyes doesn't say a word. Day 20, the food runs out. There's a vending machine at the end of your hall, glass front, loud glass. So, you wait for the bell. Rule one, bell, swing,

06:39

Speaker A

Rule one: move when the bell rings.

06:54

Speaker A

listener. It never tells you to stay in your room. That's when you notice it. The bell only rings on the east side, your side, never in the west wing. You press the call button. Why only our side? A long pause.

07:07

Speaker A

Fourth problem, food. The cafeteria is downstairs in the west wing. At the 10:50 bell, you go down the west stairs, past the trophy case, past the main office. The blinds are down. A lamp is on inside. You don't knock. She doesn't open.

07:16

Speaker A

Every one of them in the building comes up the stairs at once. They hit the stairwell door, hundreds of them, pushing all night. The door holds. It opens the other way. By morning, it's bent in the middle like a book. You call

07:29

Speaker A

The kitchen storeroom is a cave of giant cans: peaches, beans, corn, 300 cartons of chocolate milk going warm.

07:39

Speaker A

6:00 in the morning, the The rings, 2 hours early, on your side, every one of them turns toward you. Then you hear it, rotor blades.

07:48

Speaker A

You fill a mop bucket and sprint back up before the bell stops.

08:00

Speaker A

There's nothing on her side. You wave both arms. You shout. The bell is louder. She climbs in without looking back. The helicopter lifts. It doesn't turn around.

08:12

Speaker A

That night, the speaker clicks on. "Today's lunch is peaches. Nice work, room 214."

08:22

Speaker A

Inventory: one flashlight, two cans of peaches, three rules. Move when the bell rings. They push. They can't pull. And the new one, anyone who tells you to stay put is leaving.

08:34

Speaker A

You never told her you went.

08:42

Speaker A

Then, down the hall, the bell rings, right on time. [music]
