An excerpt from “Crossing the Guard”, a short story by M.E. Johnson published in volume one of “An Honest Lie: Encouraging the Delinquency of Your Inner Child.”
The Crossing Guard was up ahead, waving his flag around like he always did. She could never decide if he thought he was trouping the colors, leading the parade, practicing for marching band, slaying dragons with his sword (the flag,) directing a symphony, or swatting flies. No wonder the line always moved so slowly. No one could figure out his signals. For instance, what does an abrupt about-face while holding the flag behind you mean? What does frantically whipping it up and down mean? What does zipping it from side to side mean? And please, could someone explain what twirling it above your head means?
She always tried to be patient with him. Everyone did. After all, he was there to help the nation’s children get home safe. And for that, he deserved a little respect.
