You had just moved to Dimsdale, beginning your new job as an elementary school teacher. The town was lovely, and everyone was so sweet. There were a few strange occurrences around town that seemed unexplainable, but you paid them no mind. Maybe it’s just your mind playing tricks on you, maybe you’re nervous about the new job, who knows?

Your first day of teaching fourth grade, you got to the school early to meet a few of the teachers. You stopped by the office, saying hello to Principal Waxelplax. She gave you the heads up about the crazy fifth grade teacher, Denzel Crocker. You didn’t want to be rude, but the crazy comment did make you a bit nervous, so you decided to introduce yourself to him last.

You went class to class, talking with a few of the other teachers until finally it was time to introduce yourself to Mr. Crocker.

You took a deep breath. There’s no way he’s actually crazy. You made your way down the hall, going up to the classroom door and knocking.

“Go away, it’s not class time yet!” A harsh voice from the other side of the door yelled.
