The three boys who disrupted the class were told to stay after school. While waiting for the teacher to return from the front office, they watched in amazement as the eraser, up at the chalkboard, began to move on its own. It was erasing all the writing that had been left on the board.
One of the boys became so
unnerved that he ran from the room and didn’t slow down until he was halfway
home. The two remaining boys sat there stunned, mouths open.
Then, as if summoned by
some spirit, the chalk lifted itself from the tray and began to write. Slowly,
deliberately, it scrawled across the clean slate: “I see everything.”
The boys
exchanged a terrified glance. One whispered, “Is this some kind of prank?” But
the other shook his head, eyes wide. “No one’s here…”
Just then, the
classroom door creaked open. The teacher stepped in, oblivious to the
supernatural display that had just occurred. The chalk dropped silently to the
tray. The board was blank again.
The boys knew
what they saw and knew no one would ever believe them. They both understood they could never say
anything. That is, until now...
