The Memorial Dance Incident - Part 1

The Memorial Dance Incident - Part 1
It was an ordinary day at Lawndale High School. Brittany Taylor was bored. Just painting what one saw wasn’t interesting. She preferred it if it was more interesting. She looked at Jane Lane’s picture. “Why are the people covered in blood?” she asked Jane.

“Because that’s my interpretation,” Jane explained.

“Wait…” Brittany said. “Didn’t Ms. Defoe say to copy what we saw?”

“No, she just said to look around and paint what you see here, in the classroom,” Jane explained.

“But there’s no blood in the classroom,” Brittany said. “I mean, there is, but no one’s bleeding.”

“Well, the people are bleeding,” Jane said.

“Blood?” Kevin Thompson asked. “Cool! Hey, Jane, paint something with blood on my canvas. And maggots!”

“The problem is… This canvas is too small,” Jane said.

“Too small?” Kevin asked.

“I see what you mean,” Brittany said. She twirled a pigtail as she contemplated this, but something then distracted her.

“Good morning, students,” Principal Angela Li aid. “Where is your instructor?”

“She went to the ladies room,” Brittany answered.

( Li took that information in )
