Another Breakdown

 


Another Breakdown


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears, and I realize I am in a classroom.

Heck, I'm not sure what I'm doing here. It’s bizarre.

I see I'm still wearing a grey janitorial uniform.

I shrug. I clean the English classroom. I whistle.

My former classmates crowd into this small room.

The teacher arrives last. They have a major meltdown.

Everyone in the room cowers beneath their desks.

I hide in the storage room until the heat subsides.

I hear the teacher smashing everything in the room.

When the school bell rings, I suddenly leave the dream.


The End


The above story is a loose adaptation of a dream I had. If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free to leave a comment, and thank you for reading.
