Areeba opened her eyes—they were in a graveyard.
The Smiling Man stood at the center, a circle of bones around him.
"This is where it began," he whispered.
Areeba took a shaky breath. "And this is where it ends."
She grabbed the lighter from her pocket.
The shadows screamed.
The Smiling Man lunged.
Rehan tackled him, holding him back.
"DO IT!"
Areeba flicked the lighter—
And threw it.
The graves erupted in flames
The Smiling Man let out a horrifying scream.
The shadows collapsed.
And the town began to disappear.
