Mr. Fejes

At the tournament

Characters

Mark

Has been a teacher for 35 years and has been doing Power of The Pen for 21 years. He’s an 8th grade English teacher. He is very nice and cheerful, it’s very rare for him to get mad at someone. He looks quite a bit like Henry Rollins, but has lighter eyes and more joy to his features. He’s humorous like Rollins, but the jokes are aimed more towards teenagers. (Power of The Pen is an Ohio based competition. Writers write short stories for a set amount of time with set prompts and their stories are judged for uniqueness.)

Intro

Guest sat at a table all alone, quietly eating his food. He was at the university where the last tournaments of Power of The Pen would be held and he would be one of the writers that would attend them. Was he nervous? Kinda. He didn’t really know how to feel, his mind just incessantly said, Whatever will be, will be. and that was that.

He looked around just in time though to see one of the speakers and a teacher that was at the tournament, Mark Fejes or Mr. Fejes to kids. Mark was walking towards him with a smile on his face and a tray of food in his hand.

Mark

Hey, kid!

he sat down, putting his tray on the table

You’re all alone, need some company?
