The Orphan Pills

In a world, where squadrons of United Empire Loyalists ruled the gritty, metropolitan fightscape, one teacher named Ms. Avila dared to make a difference when she read her class Loyola’s Exercitia. The students instantly became hooked on self expression. Whenever Ms. Avila read, every pair of eyeballs in the room would suddenly wrack themselves like ecstatic eight-balls. It was not long until she read from Flip That Sweat Lodge which, to no one’s surprise, transmogrified the entire St. Teresa library into a bloodletting hospice. But it was when she read aloud from her tattered pages of The Orphan Pills, that the entire classroom filled with thick plumes of baby powder. It got into everything. The class turned wild. Ms. Avila misplaced her walking stick. Someone grunted. The legend that the pen was mightier than the walking stick, fell to the proposition that a walking stick, when wielded at a teacher’s temple, was mightier than the Sundance Film Festival.
