When the Lights Went Out at School I was standing in the boy's room when the lights went out at school. I was lost inside the bathroom and I felt like such a fool. I couldn't see a single thing. It seemed like I was blind. I didn't dare to move an inch for fear of what I'd find. I heard a girl out in the hall. She said, "Is this the door?" She walked into the boy's room. I was frightened to the core. I said, "You're in the boy's room!" She screamed and made a dash. She said, "I must get out of here!" and then I heard a splash. I was glad that I had stayed so still. It all just goes to prove: When there's no light in the bathroom you really shouldn't move. Copyright © 2003, Robert Pottle All Rights Reserved |
