The chaos? Uncontainable. Like five tornadoes simultaneously tearing through campus.
Attending to one mini-crisis just to move on to the next.
Exhausting.
And then, a flicker of an idea.
Several binder clips, a few tacks, a length of twine, and about a dozen bedsheets.
No young boy could withstand the simple wonderment of a fort.
They gathered around, one by one, chaos overwhelmed by curiosity.
"Blankets, pillows. Go on."
As they scrambled, I dimmed the lights and hunted down a flashlight for effect.
In a matter of a minute, the once uncontainable chaos became five cozy kids captivated in the suspense of scary story.
