The Jonah__**

All six feet of Mr Burden strode up to the front of the assembly hall, his presence causing the descent of silence upon those students in attendance. Whilst ascending the steps on the way to the lectern he stumbles, and in slow motion begins to fall. Catching himself he continues to the lectern where he delivers his routine speech and begins the return to the back of the hall. As he walks down the steps he trips again, this time to flail, and unable to stop himself from falling, his face collides with the unforgiving assembly hall floor. The force of this impact smashes apart his jaw, and propels his nose up through his skull and into his brain. The first to react Mr, Milne is calls the emergency services asking for an ambulance. Ten minutes later the ambulance which was intended for Mr, burden crashes into a mount Albert grammar bus, carrying the schools athletics team, ending multiple students lives. Another ambulance is sent, but held up by the original crash does not make it in time. Mr, burden’s slips away.
