poissoned

It took students until fifth period to decorate my door and windows with paper fish--poissons d'Avril--in bold colors and various shapes and sizes.

We were working in the computer lab. I was focused, in a zone, helping students craft a wiki on the novel we're reading, totally absorbed in the moment when a student said, "Hey Anderson, there's a tag on your back."

"A tag?"

"Yeah--"

"--or a... fish," someone else chimed in.

Yep. I got poissoned.
