Night had fallen across the university campus. I knew the academic buildings would be empty, but the area near Fraternity Row was always crowded with students and parties. I hoped I could cross the campus without drawing too much attention.

It wasn't easy. The warm October night had brought everyone outside, and I stayed close to the shadows as I crossed St. Solomon's Square. Eventually, I spotted a quiet alley that would take me home faster, even though it passed dangerously close to Fraternity Row.
