Fifteen strange, calm children, a shy ferret with no searchable species, lesson plans decades old with instructions no one can decode. Paul keeps documenting, but the notes that begin as detached academic observation slowly become something else. A record of events he can’t explain. Children disappearing into the forest at night. Dust-covered old boxes in his father’s attic, full of papers he can’t remember writing, surfacing buried memories. And a teacher whose absence grows more sinister the longer he looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold through letters, field notes, newspaper clippings, community forum posts, and recordings, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSubstitute Teacher\u003c\/i\u003e is as dark and possessed as chalk writing itself on a board.
