A Flurry of School-Based Flash Fiction

Marking

Mr Barnes saw the title of Matthew Hall's essay: 'Black History Month'. Recalling the disquieting racial bent present in Matthew's previous work he decided enough was enough and shot himself in the store cupboard.

Penne Passion

Mr Wilkes found it difficult to justify his fondness for Angela as he helped her glue pasta to some brightly coloured card. Later he shot himself in the store cupboard.

The Unbearable Tragedy of a Man Reduced to a Grade

Ofsted said Mark Geddes was 'shit' and gave him 2/10. Clutching the report in his quivering hand he shot himself in the store cupboard.

Trajectory

One break time, whilst he was supervising, John Gwlx took, simultaneously, a frisbee to the back of the head and some sort of fluorescent foam shape in the eye. Months later, unable to cope with his blindness and the permanent dull ache in his neck, John shot himself in the store cupboard.

'Fetch me the Geography folders...'

Timothy found an upsetting number of bodies in the store cupboard. His eyes chanced upon the pile of discarded pistols. Distraught, he shot himself.
