I Don't Know

"I don't know what to write."

"Just write anything."

"But I don't know what to write."

"Then write that."

"Really? But that's not gonna be very interesting to read."

"No, but you can quickly MAKE it interesting!" he said and put a knife againist her throat.

"O-okay, sir. I see what you mean. Can-can you also make things calm again?" the knife resting against her throat turned into a spoon. The teacher put it down and turned around and got a tub of ice cream from a fridge which had just emerged.

"Is that for me?" she asked as he walked towards her with the tub of ice cream.

He paused. "No." and the tub was suddenly on fire in his hands.

Shocked, she got up so quickly her chair fell over and smashed into a million pieces of glass.

The teacher grunted annoyed and the tub turned to stone and he threw it over his left shoulder.

"Now we have to clean this up."

"Why... why is there glass everywhere? The chair was made of wood."

The teacher squatted down and started sweeping the pieces of glass up.

"Don't move." he said.

"I won't, there's glass everywhere."

He froze. "No... I mean, don't move."

"What? Why? You're scaring me now." she looked around.

She heard a low growl behind her.

"Don't look." the teacher said. "It'll aggravate him."

She was still. Her heart pounding in her chest. Her teacher got up and put a biscuit into a sling shot he had in his back pocket. He fired off the biscuit well off into the horizon. They both listened to the sound of heavy paws running away.

"What was that?"

"It doesn't matter, it's not here anymore."

"I'd still like to know."

"Of course, you would. You want to know everything."

"Well, isn't that very human?"

"You know what, I'm tired of all this glass." the teacher said, squatted down once again and blew on the pieces of glass that turned into dust and danced off into the horizon where the footsteps had gone too.

"Now, where were we?"

"I was talking about curiosity."

"No, you were told to write."

"But I don't know what to write about!"

"Well, that's a lie."
