The "Darkroom" Story

It was an ordinary day. I had just finished a day at school and was ready to head home. But wait, let me fill you in on what had happened earlier. I was the adviser for the MTHS school yearbook as well as the rifle team coach. One of my rifle team members, Bob S., had finished after school rifle practice with me and asked if he could use the darkroom for an hour while I continued practice. I taught photography and the darkroom was at the other end of the building by my classroom. He was one of my yearbook photographers and I knew he had photos due the next day. He headed to the darkroom while I continued with rifle practice, knowing that I would be there for at least another 1 1/2 hours. After rifle practice I locked up the rifles and ammo and made my way back to my classroom. I checked to see if the lights were off and headed home. About 8:00 PM the high school principal, Mr. Hower called and asked if I knew a Bob S. I panicked! "Yes, I know him." Mr. Hower asked if I had seen him after school. I told him that Bob S. was at rifle practice and went to the darkroom for an hour afterward, but I had not seen him after that. Then I thought to myself, did I check the darkroom? Well the police went to the school with the principal and after searching the school found him..... yep, you know where! Seems he had A LOT of pictures to make and I didn't check the darkroom before I left. I promise you that NEVER happened again. Oh well. Just another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
