Science class.

The teacher, drones on and on

about compounds and mixtures

and other sciency stuff.

The class is as boring

as ever, and

I fall into

a deep sleep.

I wake up to darkness

an unusual sight,

I look around,

and no one is here.

I’m confused, worried, and scared.

I get up from my seat

and walk over to the door,

which is locked.

I cry out for help,

but no one hears me.

I’m confused, worried, and scared.

I do not know what to do.

I walk back to my desk and sit down

putting my head

on the desk

I am saved by a ‘click’

when the door is unlocked.

And the door is opened wide.

And in comes my teacher,

with a line of students

following behind.

The teacher sees me and says
“Where were you during the fire drill?”
