Chapter Twelve

School Daze

Gertie and I walked down the hallway past my classroom and it already looked different. “Gertie! Look at the walls. All of the little witches the kids made are gone. So are the cute ghosts in the graveyard.”

“So are the little moon and star designs they made.” Gertie sadly pointed out.

“It makes me more sad than angry when I think about all of the work my students put into those projects.” I said as I stared at the spaces left empty by the actions of a tyrant.

“So you’re not angry? Good, because I have a confession. That papier-mâché golem should be coming alive any minute now, if it hasn’t already.”

“Huh? Wait a second. Did you just tell me that you’ve created a real golem? In my classroom?”

“Well…yes, but technically it’s not in your classroom. You put it in the library. I came back here to bring it back to the plantation. I wanted to have a golem that could take care of all the chores, then I would be able to get away and see Brad as often as I wanted.”

“Ugh! We have to find that thing. I have a confession to make, also. Golems are not good guys. They always turn out to be horrible monsters that go on killing sprees and destroy everything in their way.”

Gertie was stunned into silence, which is completely unlike her. I leaned my forehead against the wall and imagined several catastrophic scenarios made possible by a rogue golem. Suddenly, Gertie spouted a rapidly delivered explanation for creating such a monster. “Oh, I suppose that would have been good to know. I would never intentionally create a bloodthirsty killer that would go on a murdering rampage. I know I should have told you what I was going to do. I just didn’t want to upset you. I promised I wouldn’t bewitch Brad in any way and having a golem around seemed like a good solution. When I was at the anniversary dinner, Rabbi Magic Man was telling…”

That was the Gertie O’Leary I knew and loved. Her dizzying words spun around my ears and flew away. I knew what she meant. When she said something about magic Rabbi, my brain did a double take. I lifted my head away from the wall and gave Gertie a puzzled look. “Hold on. Did you say Rabbi Magic Man? Are you sure you didn’t just dream all of this?”

“No. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a dream. I had a hard time pronouncing his name so I called him Magic Man. It’s kind of cute, don’t you think?”

“Okay, you mean Rabbi Majikovsky.” I placed my forehead against the wall and resumed my pose of despair. “All right, Gertie, go ahead and finish your story.”

“Okay. Well, he told me that according to the legends, once you place a special little scroll into its mouth, you have to wait until it wakes up the next morning before it comes alive. I kind of bewitched Rabbi Magic Man into giving me one of those scrolls.
