Checkered Motives

Joshua couldn’t think of a worse way to spend a Wednesday afternoon than serving as a substitute teacher at Priss Middle School. The school was trash, the kids were mean, and worst of all, the parking sucked. He’d gotten a call to drive out to the school after a teacher, one Mrs. Hersch, fell ill with multiple rounds of explosive diarrhea. The Assistant Principal felt it absolutely necessary to inform Joshua that she required medical attention.
