A Not-So-Delicious Death



“Mr. Charleston! Mr. Charleston! Something happened to Mr. Barra!” exclaimed Carter Mason frantically, bursting into the office. “I think he’s dead!” “So here’s what happened: The day was calm, off to a chill start as the leaves put on different colors and decided to disappear for another few months. It was 7:18 am and the corridors of Bridgewater-Raritan High School were bustling with a mix of students...some antsy to get to class on time and the others quite inattentively moving onwards. “Everyone was seated quietly in classroom 505 waiting for our English teacher, Mr. Barra to walk in and start class. That kid Dennis was messing around with Mr. Barra’s computer, but he had to leave what he was doing when the teacher showed up. The door opened slowly and in walked the enthusiastic teacher. As he proceeded to start the lecture, the AP Language kids heard strange pauses, unlike the usual breaks Mr. Barra would take in between sentences to think or take a sip of coffee. “Then the lights flickered off throughout the 505 classroom,” explained Carter. “The lights just turned off. The room went totally dark--pretty spooky. After the lights came back on, we saw a limp Mr. Barra slumped over his podium with his eyes shut.” The autopsy later showed that Mr. Barra had died from a common form of oral poison. The autopsy also showed high blood levels of Delicious Death, a scrumptious dessert that Stacey McClellan had baked for school. “I swear I didn’t give him any! Mr. Barra didn’t even taste Delicious Death! I didn’t kill him I promise!” yelled Stacey frantically. “You’re right, he didn’t just taste Delicious Death,” Mr. Charleston answered coolly. “He got a full serving.”
