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.
