[ WP ] You are in a boring math class when your teacher starts to say the same sentence in loop

Bennie doodled on the side of her notebook. It was the one advantage to using paper and pen in the classroom instead of a tablet, and occupied her hands while she listened to the teacher drone on. 
 
 
 She did n't find math hard, but quite the opposite: this intro to stats class was pretty easy. She had been amazed by how many of her classmates found the work incredibly difficult though, and realized her high school classes had apparently been pretty good. 
 
 
 `` And the p-value is less than 0.05, which means the results are significant.'' 
 
 
 Bennie stopped doodling. That was the third time the professor had said that. It really was n't that hard - 
 
 
 `` And the p-value is less than 0.05, which means the results are significant.'' 
 
 
 She looked up at the teacher, who stood before the white board, next to the projector screen. He moved his hand, gesturing at the results, and said again: `` And the p-value is less than 0.05, which means the results are significant.'' 
 
 
 *What the fuck? * Bennie thought, even as the professor repeated himself once more, including making the same gestures. It was like watching a reaction.gif - same movement, same words. Over and over. It was creepy, and sent goosebumps down her arms. 
 
 
 She glanced around the rest of the classroom, expecting to see her peers as confused as she was. But they all sat still - some staring at the professor, others taking notes. Bennie stood up, the standard classroom chair making a loud scraping noise across the tiles. The teacher only remarked: `` And the p-value is less than 0.05, which means the results are significant.'' 
 
 
 Her stomach turned as anxiety crept up her spine. `` Hey, guys! Not funny!'' She glanced about the room again, this time frantically. 
 
 
 `` And the p-value is less than 0.05, which means the results are significant.'' She watched as the students all repeated the same small motions over and over in time with the professor - rewriting the same sentence, tilting their heads, stifling the same yawn. 
 
 
 She stood there for several long minutes, frozen with fear and indecision. `` *And the p-value is less than 0.05, which means the results are significant*.'' She shook her head and said aloud `` I'm dead are n't I? I'm dead, and this is hell: reliving the last few minutes of my life.'' It sort of made sense, it was the only thing that made even the tiniest bit of fucked up sense she could think of. Either that or she'd been living in the Matrix her entire life. Dead made more sense. 
 
 
 Bennie bolted out of the classroom into the hallway. If she was n't dead she reasoned, there had to be other people who were n't affected by whatever was going. If she was, then it did n't really matter where she went. `` And the p-value is less than 0.05 - `` The door closing behind her muffled the professor's voice. 
 
 
 The hallway was empty, classes had another 20 minutes before they ended. She walked quickly to the next classroom down and finding the door closed, she peered in the window. It looked so normal - except for all the movements repeating themselves every minute, including one girl who kept sneezing over and over again. Bennie moved on to the next classroom. The hallway felt like it stretched on forever, ringing only with the sound of her footsteps.
