"I was a good person, before it all went down." Mrs. Mayberry informed, standing in front of the desk in Blitzø's office, Ebony sitting on his lap with his arms wrapped around her waist "I was good my entire life."

Curtains split open, revealing the bright light of the sun in a classroom, also revealing two birds singing on a tree branch.

"Good morning!" Mrs. Mayberry smiled as she wrote it down on the chalk board, twirling around to face her class "I hope you all did your homework!"

Several smiling students nod in a dance at their desks as a brown-haired boy -- wearing a dunce cap -- spins on a stool and faces the wall.

♫ We love to do our homework, and we love our teacher, too! ♫

♫ Then, when I throw out these fun questions, you should know just what to do! ♫

♫ Okay! ♫

♫ Two plus six is… ♫

♫ Eight! ♫

♫ And good behavior's… ♫

♫ Great! ♫

♫ And now, it's that part of the class when we say the time of day and date! ♫

♫ It's nine in the morning… ♫

♫ On January 8th! ♫

♫ The sun is out smiling! ♫

♫ And it's your husband's birthday! ♫

The class continues to sing while Mrs. Mayberry faces the board, dragging her piece of chalk in a jagged line, the piece of chalk almost gone. Her face became beaded with sweat, her eye twitching,

"Oh my stars!" She exclaimed, facing the children "stop singing, children! Hush up, now!" causing them to grow silent "I forgot it's my husband's birthday! I didn't get him anything special!"

"Maybe if we call him, we could do a happy birthday surprise!" a student suggested

In a bedroom, the word Wifey appeared on a computer screen with a ringing telephone icon. A sock lands on a corner of the computer followed by a pair of underwear, followed by an unused condom, hitting the screen and accepts the video call as Mrs. Mayberry's face appears from the other, while the sound of a squeaking bed is heard. Back in the classroom, her face turns red in anger, then morphing into shock as she stares in bewilderment. The children stand behind her with concerned, fearful looks as their teacher suddenly stands from her chair and begins to walk away,

"Wait! Mrs. Mayberry!" A female student exclaimed, grabbing her arm "remember what you taught us? Think before you act."

Mrs. Mayberry grabs hold of the girl's neck and tosses her through the roof, allowing her to walk out the door. The children scurry to the window to see Mrs. Mayberry drive through a white picket fence in her green car, then rushing back to the computer to watch.

"Okay -- Oh, shit! Sweetie, what are you doing here?" Mr. Mayberry asked

"Shut up, Jarold!" She snapped, the sound of screams and a gunshot being heard "you scream like a bitch!"

Dunce boy cowers in his seat as the sound of a chainsaw is heard next, blood splattering against the computer screen as the children stare in horror.
