SLAY SQUAD MYSTERIES | THE DRAMA CLUB PHANTOM

-- Full Disclosure: Life took over on this story and I was planning to bin it. Then, when the last story worked out so well after I let AI loose on it, I decided to parse what I had through an LLM instead.
Again, it took it in a direction I hadn't intended but I think it worked out quite well in the end. See what you think. --

At Rathbone Academy, the Slay Squad—Emily, Ruth, Anna, and the ever-theatrical Tallulah—are ready for opening night… until the drama club gets extra dramatic. Lights flicker, props vanish, costumes are shredded, and a chilling warning appears: LEAVE THE PLAY… OR SUFFER THE CURSE.

Tallulah is convinced a phantom is out to steal her spotlight. Emily’s convinced it’s sabotage. Ruth starts a suspect list. Anna starts snapping evidence.

With rehearsals spiralling and rumours of a theatre “curse” spreading fast, the girls set a trap: hidden cameras, late-night stakeouts, and one final rehearsal where anything could go wrong. Because if someone really is haunting the stage, they’ve chosen the worst possible club to mess with…

The Slay Squad is on the case.
