The students were quiet with great delight

  • The students were quiet with great delight as the teacher
  • tried her best to get them to say something...anything. "The capitol of Utah is...Johnny?" Johnny sat stonefaced, silent. "Margot?" Margot turned her chair around. The teacher
  • looked around. "Will anyone answer me?" The students all completely ignored him. "Are you all mad because I didn't let you play 'branding iron tag'?" The teacher asked.
  • Total silence. "Fine," muttered the teacher. There was more than 1 way to deal with truculent students. She reached under her desk and flipped the first switch. The scent of singed
  • nose hairs assaulted the singed nose hairs of the students. They puckered their faces. "Ow, how did you do that?" The teacher just laughed. "Naughty students deserve singed nose ha
  • ir sandwiches!" The students stared in disgust and disbelief. That might have been a little harsh, but it seemed to stun the rowdy children into silence for a few moments.
  • The lunchlady's grin grew, and more tombstone-like teeth exposed. "And that's not even the worst of it." She scooped a ladel of the greyish-green goop, putting the sandwich down,
  • & sneezed multiple hard showers of spittle into the pot. Her ladle slammed down on my plate, covering my apple in goo. "Are there any Saltines?" I whimpered. The lunchlady laughed
  • "And why, would you think we have saltines?" she asked.
  • "Because I ate all the cookies," said the dark booming voice which interrupted the conversation, "They were mine to begin with, and so are your souls. Now fork em' over."
