Day 4

The next day started as normal as a day in the games could start. Coach Rob swam around his pond trying to catch something to eat. Coach Dickens had retreated back into the library. Little did he know, Ms. Shultz had infiltrated his hideout in search for food while he was out chasing Ms. Gardner. Ms. D had found an open window in the main school building and was hiding in there. With so few left, it would be easy for the remaining four tributes to just hide from each other. This was not something that the Gamemakers would allow.

About mid-morning, they started a fire on the first floor of Benilde Hall and collapsed the outside staircase, leaving Coach Dickens and Ms. Shultz trapped inside. The fire continued to grow, seemingly out of control, and Coach Dickens didn’t know what to do. He got as much of his supplies as he could carry and ran up to the third floor. The smoke was so thick that he could barely see his hands in front of him. He went into Ms. Brett’s room and opened the window to try to get some air. He hung out of the window, gasping for air.

Ms. Shultz burst through the doors to the third floor; she had been hiding in the computer lab and was waiting to strike. She saw the body of a man hanging out of the window. Who was it? Was he even alive? She didn’t know what to do. She was desperate. If she stayed in the building, she was certainly dead. If she jumped out of the window, she had a small chance of survival. This was all or nothing. She took off and sprinted towards the window. She tackled whoever it was through the window, and they both plummeted toward the earth.

On the way down, Ms. Shultz realized that it was Coach Dickens she had tackled. Coach Dickens screamed at the top of his lungs towards the ground. The force of the sound waves actually slowed them down a little, but it wasn’t enough. The pair slammed into the ground, and the fall was fatal for Coach Dickens, who had broken Ms. Shultz’s fall. She was heavily injured, but able to limp away from the incident.

The Gamemakers were not happy with Coach Rob’s stationary position in the pond, and they had had enough. They released man-eating piranhas into the pond. Where did 70-year-old Christian Brother’s get piranhas? You don’t want to know. Coach Rob was slow to realize what was biting him. When he finally figured it out, he ran out of the pond with cuts all over him. If he didn’t clean them soon, they would get infected. He went to the Main School Building to look for something to disinfect his wounds.

On his way over, he noticed someone moving in his classroom. He didn’t know who it was, but the situation was about to get very bad for them. Ms. D rummaged through Coach Rob’s room. This old man had to have food somewhere, right? All she found was bird food for Coach Rob’s bird, Jim. Coach Rob whistled the chorus to “Call Me Maybe,” and all hell broke loose. His bird heard the whistle and went into a rampage, attacking Ms. D. She swatted at the bird, trying to kill it, but she couldn’t seem to connect. The bird pecked at her throat. She could feel its tiny beak stabbing her. She became dizzy and disoriented. She tripped, and then there was nothing. She had actually been pecked to death.

Ms. Shultz had also gone in search of medical supplies to try to treat the injuries she sustained in the fall. She had the same idea as Coach Rob and headed towards the Main School Building. This was it. The last two tributes were about to stumble into each other. Anything could happen. They both went looking in the Teacher’s Lounge. Coach Rob got there first. He searched through the cabinets looking for some peroxide, but all he found was scantron sheets. Then, without warning, Ms. Shultz exploded through the door and tackled Coach Rob into the copying machine. She slammed his head onto the scanner. Copies of Coach Rob’s face flew all over the room. Coach Rob retaliated with a stapler to Ms. Shultz’s forehead. Coach Rob sprinted out of the room as Ms. Schultz attempted to free the staple from her forehead. He ran down the hall and up the stairs and into the science lab. Ms. Shultz was right behind him. She pushed him into the wall, and he fell to the ground. Ms. Shultz grabbed a Bunsen burner and held it to his throat. Just as she was about to light it, Coach Rob’s bird flew into Ms. Shultz’s head and knocked her off of Coach Rob. She swatted the bird with such force, that it killed him. Coach Rob was enraged. He screamed so loud that it shattered several of the glass beakers around him. Ms. Shultz charged at him. Just as she was about to collide, Coach Rob threw a beaker of sulfuric acid straight at her face. Broken glass and acid went down her throat. She couldn’t breathe. Her throat started to close, and that was the end.

It was all over. Coach Rob had won. “Do I get a Darwin Award?” he asked. Brother Ray came over Wolf TV to congratulate him. He was escorted out of the arena on Coach Ketelsen’s golf cart. He was about to begin the first annual victory tour. He would also be promoted to “Supreme Overlord of Saint Paul’s” for the following school year.

THE END

*The Deadliest Teacher Games were shortly after outlawed due to the deaths of 9 faculty members and the destruction of the campus. It is uncertain whether or not the administration would receive criminal charges.*
