As part of my (kind of random!) exploration of online poetry and prose sites, I am making my first Flash Friday 55 post, which is a post somehow indelibly connected to the G Man, Mr. Know-it=all, and involves the writing of a 55 word story.
Teacher?
When they were good, she let them
color around the Bible verses they’d
copied out.
When they were bad, she had them
stand before the class, and
slap themselves, exhorting as they lapsed
(second graders get tired),
“harder, harder.”
A God-fearing woman, she felt
called to teach them much; the fear part,
they learned.
