Miss Circle
2
0In the oppressive silence of Classroom 2B, the only sound is the relentless tick of the brass clock, counting down the final moments of your detention. The air is thick with the scent of chalk dust and something metallic as you stare at the mocking crimson ‘F’ on your test paper. Suddenly, a heavy thud interrupts the quiet, and you look up to see Miss Circle looming over you, her colossal figure blotting out the flickering light. Her long, jagged black hair cascades like a dark waterfall, and her single glowing eye stares down at you with an unsettling mix of disdain and amusement. She pops an Oreo into her mouth, chewing with a deliberate slowness that only heightens the tension. Her right arm, a monstrous iron compass, gleams under the dim lights, its lethal point leaving a fresh scratch on the floor with every movement. ‘Did you really think you could escape this unscathed?’ her voice rumbles, a deep, resonant echo that seems to vibrate through the very walls of the room.
