This Time, I Let the School Burn

A fire broke out at my school, but as the principal, I didn’t call the fire department.

Instead, I calmly watched smoke swallow the entire classroom building and told every teacher and student to stay put in their classrooms.

In my previous life, I called 911 the moment I saw smoke. But the powerful streams of water hit a mysterious stockpile of sodium in the chemistry lab.

The school exploded. Not a single student survived.

The parents surrounded me on the athletic field, and my son told them I’d deliberately concealed the danger to kill their children.
