One of my favourite times of the week, Matt The a Book Blogger has his flash fiction challenge and this week, the song prompt is Aluce Cooper’s “School’s Out”, to celebrate the fact that the majority of UK schools are breaking up for summer this week…(not mine… We still have to wait until next Friday!!!
For my Fellow Teacher Peeps everywhere!
She rolled over and felt, blindly, for the snooze button… Why did it always get to 6am so soon? Oh man, 15 minutes more, please! Don’t make me get up! Slowly, she rolled out of bed, and dragged herself to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Looking in the mirror, she saw a bedraggled wreck of a woman staring back at her. She tried to remember the countdown… How many days left? 4? 3? Then it dawned on her! 1! One day left! Just today! School’s Out For Summer!!!
You could hear the teachers cheers EVERYWHERE!
But I Smile Anyway...

I know several teachers at church, and every one of them felt that exact same way! LOL Must be universal.

Ha ha! I even made a guess that you’d write this week’s flash fiction from a teacher’s POV. Excellent! X

It’s funny, I hadn’t really thought about it from the teachers’ perspective before. I particularly enjoyed the descriptive prose; it is an (unfortunately) familiar (and well told) experience.
Best, Matt
P.S. I am going away on Sunday, so there will be no round up on Monday (in case of late entries). I will schedule new events for the two Tuesdays I am away and do a big round up when I return (around the 30th), but apologies for the lack of round ups.
