Out of Bounds
Synopsis
Veronica gets rid of Louise by sending her off on an errand while she hides Matthew's body. When Louise returns, she is shocked to find all trace of Matthew has gone. According to Veronica, she and Matthew need a little time apart to heal their marriage.
Trapped in the remote school and haunted by nightmares, Louise finds the vast Victorian building a spooky shell without the other pupils. Matthew's voice seems to echo around her head to the point that she is convinced she's going mad. Late one night, Louise is awakened by someone calling up to her from outside her bedroom window. She looks out and sees Matthew waving to her. Scared and excited, Louise rushes out to meet him. But as his arms encircle her she realises her eyes were deceived - with fatal consequences.
