Body From the Rafters

By Legions Slave

In a high school gym a body hangs from the rafters
The lights of the gym come on
The students and teachers are shocked to see the body of the school's principal hanging from the rafters
The principal was not a popular man
No suprise to see him hanging from the rafters
A student in the crowd smiles looking at what he did
He is proud to be the one to have gotten rid of him
The principal's body is buried
An investigation is conducted
No evidence is found
The case of the principal hanging from the rafters goes cold
