[Critique Group 2] My Submission for 9/28/2018

[Abbie Taylor]

Thanks to Alice for pointing out a discrepancy between the piece I 
submitted last week and the copy in the compilation I sent yesterday. 
After sending the piece to the list, I didn't realize that I'd forgotten 
to copy it into my compilation until the next piece arrived. In my haste 
to do this and then insert the next piece, I accidentally copied the 
wrong version. Pasted and attached is the correct version. Sorry for the 
inconvenience. Will see you all tomorrow night.

HALLOWEEN DISASTER

In the fifth grade classroom,

topless pumpkins sit on desks.

I stick my hands inside one, grasp slimy innards,

as the stench fills the air.

My stomach turns.

“Please, may I go to the bathroom?” I ask.

"I'm gonna throw up."

“No,” the teacher says.

My mouth opens.

Soon, the pumpkin, table, floor, teacher

are covered with my own innards.
