The background shifted. The farm melted into a hallway— the school’s hallway . And the pig? The pig was standing exactly where Leo was sitting. In Room 76.

No Windows logo. No login prompt. Just a pixelated farm at sunset, and two words:
The hallways of Westbrook Middle School were a digital desert. Every gaming site was a fossil, crushed under the weight of the district’s web filter. “Access Denied” was the only homepage anyone ever saw. Iron Snout Unblocked 76
