Eyes of A Killer 02

Michel is a rat and he is snapping the charcoal all around the classroom and telling Miss P that it’s me doing the snapping. When it’s drawing class and everyone goes quiet to listen to Miss P tell us how to draw an ear then Michel snaps the charcoal extremely loudly and Miss P’s head whips up like a snake’s head and she says to me “go and sit outside and think about what you’ve done, child, pay me a silver coin for the charcoal” she says that to ME instead of MICHEL and he is a toad and I’m going to get him. 

Here is what I’m going to do to toad Michel. Nobody knows about this but me but on the side of the school there is a well that has been all covered in stones and branches. I found the well once when I was playing a digging game. It’s not deep. When you pull the branches aside you can climb down in there and there are snails. 

I have already written Michel a note that says I AM GOING TO KILL YOU and tomorrow I will creep into the classroom early and I will write on the chalkboard and it will say COUNT YOUR DAYS RAT BOY

That afternoon when we are all outside and he is right scared I will go and hide in the well. I will leave a small gap in the branches so I can see who is approaching and if I see that Michel is near I will make a small sound like a ghost or a creature. I will whisper at him and he won’t see anybody there because the well is invisible under the branches. Then I’ll make the sound again and when he draws near I will leap I will LEAP out of the well. I am sorry Miss P but I will have crunched charcoal in my teeth so they look blackened and rotted. 

When I leap out then my wish is that the rat Michel will fall down dead. 

M. 1458.
