Not that I was being mistreated or anything. I waited till dark, put a few coats over each other and slipped out of the house. I sat on the floor of this bus stop opposite the house (*) to think of a plan. Then walked for several hours and finally pushed an alarm button on a police station. The police came from a nearby town, gave me hot coffee, and brought me home, warning me that my parents might be a bit upset by their late call. Which they were. The net result was that a Latin test due shortly after that was delayed because of 'serious reasons' which my teacher sniffed at as being a particularly fishy excuse."</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944377627708546934.post-89788054852662386942011-11-24T08:52:00.000-08:002011-11-24T08:56:51.048-08:00Rubber Room<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6e5xib1girZX5o-DZ9pmgMJ5t5pW9UHv6mT7rpOzcV9kSU-CwmcgFuOVYndghW9hGgQV05-CZx1-Pt2T00mp7Y_tkh45K5_rtIqkZyehhmKobcvylpGrti1j2OPy0XvmhXhML7SfE42k/s1600/rubber+house.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;
