The Swamp

It was test day, so everyone was feeling a little anxious. Mrs. Gertrude’s desk was in the right hand corner. It was neat and tidy with a large calendar on it along with a red apple that some ill prepared student had given her. One might describe Mrs. Gertrude as challenging but fair. She wore a blue dress with small white polka dots on it and red glasses. Her dark hair was tied up in a bun. Not a follicle out of place.
