Untitled, John Zurz

Tuesday, February 15th, a day that will live in infamy. It was on this day that one of the most ghastly crimes ever committed took place. It occurred in the classroom of one Ms. Johnson, a math teacher at James Garfield High School in Queens, New York. It was in this room that the school was forever changed. Ms. Johnson was away from her desk at the time, she wasn't even in the room, another class was in there and she was taking a well deserved break from yelling at and berating her math classes. It was during her break that it occurred, a troll doll was viciously attacked.
Being that she was not in the room at the time no one took notice of it, no one noticed what had happened. Another teacher, the police refuse to name her due to the ongoing investigation, was in the room at the time, yelling at and berating her class. When the class was over Ms. Johnson returned to her classroom and talked for a few minutes with the other teacher, when her class started filtering in she went to her desk to get her seating chart, so she could call them by their names as she embarrassed them in front of their peers. It was then that she discovered what had occurred. The troll doll was lying there on the desk, unmoving. When she went over to pick it up she discovered the new mustache and beard, both drawn in marker.
She immediately called an ambulance, but it was too late, the marker had set in and could not be removed. The troll doll was stuck with the beard and mustache. One of the first responders, an EMT, had this to say, "I've seen some pretty bad stuff, I saw people killed by stiletto heels, others cut their own throats, but this takes the cake. What kind of sicko would do this to a defenceless troll doll?" After the EMT's had found what had happened they called the police, specifically SVU (Special Victims Unit) who were trained to handle crime scenes other officers couldn't. Even they were shocked. A few of the officers threw up upon arriving to the scene; the smell of marker was still strong.
The detectives on the scene immediately found the marker used in the attack, a Stanford brand permanent marker, a Sharpie as it is called on the street. The attacker had left it on the desk not three feet from the troll doll, preliminary reports state that no fingerprints were found on it. The police were able to rule out Ms. Johnson as a suspect, but every other student who was in the room that day is still under suspicion.
Reports state that the troll doll is in stable condition at Long Island Jewish Hospital, doctors said that it was touch and go for a while but the doll will make it. Though they say the marker will never come off. Ms. Johnson has declined comment at this time and is current;y at the troll doll's side.

John, I have finally chosen this medium to profess, for all the world (and the internet really does make the rounds), my deep and utter love for you... oh, oops, wrong thought. What I meant to say was that you are such a riot I can't handle. And, no, I don't think that was a complete sentence either.

I cant stop laughing and I know where you got the inspiration for it. It really was just something I could not imagine you writing. I am impressed with the writing and would like to report that it really is funny. Keep up the good work.
