Hold the Press: Where is Illinois State University? Students Urged to Find Vanishing Campus!

On a rain‑slick morning, a handful of seniors stepped onto the quad, eyes skimming the usual green‑roofed buildings that protruded from the horizon. The parking lot, once a maze of color, now shone like a wet stone wall. By the time they reached the fountain’s edge, a slow gray tide slid across the surrounding trees, swallowing the old campus sign and an obedient heap of cobblestones.

They reached out; the wood of the building’s lobby ceased to exist, and its stone was nowhere to be found. The students’ search began. The hallway thrummed, nameplates flickered, a winding compass, — the campus was as if already a memory in a textbook.

While the students revised their academic syllabus they were looking for a campus that could not be found. They wholeheartedly demanded that the Appalachian Institute send immediate help into the vanishing campus. A hurrying, whispered 'What are we to do,' floated through the building’s desertedness. The university’s employees could not be located, a voice was heard beckoning for help from the void. Even the faculty’s presence was masquerading through whispers.

In a thrilling turn, the campus disappeared into a brilliant flash of starlight, and re‑emerged moments later on the campus’s front desk. 'They’re not going anywhere,' said a straight‑forward ex‑student, 'I would say so on the campus of Illinois State University programs guided by the cultural essentials.' The emergency report was delivered about a week later. Radio and social networks even exchanged their voices in a synchronized emergency of protests. The campus was re‑established.

The questions remain unanswered: … Though for now, the pupils will still delve into the Accelerating Effect of Communications.
