The Missing Teacher: A Creative Short Story

My students were given an assignment today to write a short story and to be as creative as possible.  I came up with my own story and ran with it.  Here is my result.  (Maybe I should record it or vlog it, as performing adds a layer of fun both for me and for my audience.)

We arrived at school, and our teacher was not in the classroom.  No one knew where she was or when she was coming back. 

Our teacher had been on vacation in Cambodia.  While she was there, she was kidnapped by the Chinese and held prisoner.  The Chinese agents were in league with England’s Queen Victoria II, who was hatching a foul plot to release aborted leopard fetuses into the world’s food supply.  Our teacher was intended to be the guinea pig in their sinister culinary experiments.  The United States government would not allow such a travesty to occur.  They secretly sent their best agents—Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer—to our teacher’s rescue. 

What Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer, and the US government did not know was that our teacher had been trained by Israeli Mossad and could take care of herself.  She had gone on twelve secret missions to release kidnapped English waifs from forced labor in the mines of Ecuador.  She made short work of her Chinese captors, and when Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer found her, she was dissecting her captors’ bodies in Manchuria. 

Chuck Norris and Jack Bauer were instantly attracted to our teacher, and decided to battle to the death to win her hand in marriage.  It is not clear who won this battle, as our teacher would not be a prize and so fed the victor to her pet Komodo dragon, laughing as first the victor's beard, then his knees, and finally his feet were engulfed into the dragon’s gaping gullet. 

Deciding that the punishment was to fit the crime, our teacher kidnapped Queen Victoria II and banished her to slave in the mines of Ecuador, subsisting on the flesh of the aborted leopard fetuses she had so wickedly wanted to feed to the world.  Our teacher returned to our class and continued to instruct us in our studies.
