Journalism Class - Monday November 28

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

Spider has what appears to be a variety of pumpkin pies laid out and he's regarding them with deep suspicion. There is a note reading, "For your poor, long-suffering students. We hope they hate you as much as we do! FA."

"Help yourselves to pie, kids. It's probably safe." Spider glanced down. "The cat ate half of one and seems to be just fine."

Turning to look at the class he shakes his head. "Today I want you to write about the most frustrating morning you've ever been through. We'll share and discuss. If you want to do it in the form of a '... you think that's bad? Try this on for size!' contest, I have no issues with that. Enjoy."

Chloe gives the pies a weary glance and sits down, thinking for a bit before scribbling away.

Usually, my frustrating mornings involve tests or tornados or unexpected meteor showers. But my most frustrating morning was probably the one where I woke up and realized I'd been drugged and kidnapped from what was supposed to be a safehouse. Turns out it wasn't so safe after all. And the valuable lesson of that experience? When you let the son of the criminal you just put behind bars decide where to hide you, make sure he's hiding you somewhere that he never told his father about.
