From the direction of the beach, screams and terror ignited the air as panicked students burst back onto the campus.  Most of them were still in bathing suits, a few wrapped in towels to shield their bodies, but many simply leaving everything behind to attempt to save themselves.<br/><br/>One of the administrators spoke through the public address system, easily audible throughout the outside and barely audible from indoors: "Unfortunately, we're going to have to cancel tonight's beach party.  We apologize for the inconvenience."  Her voice was completely deadpan, perhaps in shock.  "Hopefully we can reschedule the event for tomorrow night."<br/><br/>Some students ran straight to the dorms.  Others went inside, running to corners, under tables, anywhere that they could hide.  A few just started wandering aimlessly, as if completely baffled or unsure if they were dreaming.
