Bubblegum Ransom
The situation at the elementary school is dangerous. Childhood has taken Adolescence hostage, and they may not give in this time. The police have already recovered one body: a science teacher, his mouth stuffed with proven truths, duct taped shut. The hoodlums will give up their guns and cell phones for picture books and dress-up clothes. They want to talk to Santa and the Tooth Fairy. They want bedtime stories and lollipops. They are tired of knowing everything, being everything. “We want miracles,” they say. “We want to go back.” They say they want to believe in the smallest heaven.
