Two college students visit their classroom at night. Neither is prepared for what they are about to encounter. In this short story with constructive inputs from Sayani Das, explore the horrors that are more primal than the usual ones in examination hall. This story has been illustrated with Generative AI using hand-crafted prompts to acheive inter-scene character consistency. However, you may notice that there are more reasons why this story is titled "Control, See"!
[Read the illustrated story]The sketches presented here could not have been possible without the active support and encouragement from my friends. They took the risk of letting me make a miserable effort at putting their likeness on paper. 😂
