The Detention
©April 6th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram

Two things you should never do:  
a.  Contradict your teacher. 
b.  Stay back after school for an extra session.

I did both.

I stayed back after school.  My outburst in class about yet another incorrectly-explained algebra problem had earned me yet  another detention.  Unwilling to look Ms. Know-Nothing in the eye, I stared at her hands, as I handed her my insincere apology-note.

And stared.

The fingers started flaking off.  In minutes, all that I saw were bones.

I fainted.

When I awoke, I was a babbling mess.  The teacher was not seen again.  The school was closed down indefinitely.
