Prompt: 030. poison ivy<\/h1>\n

1. Poison ivy ruined the last day of camp. Who knew someone could be deathly allergic to poison ivy?<\/h2>\n

A. Poison ivy ruined the last day of camp. Who knew someone could be deathly allergic to poison ivy?<\/p>\n

They’d all taken part in rubbing the inside of his pillowcase with poison ivy. They’d thought he’d wake up itching and have to go home covered in medicine and taking oatmeal baths. Instead they’d found him the next morning with a swollen face gone slack and blue, the skin around his eyes, nose, and mouth crusted with blisters.<\/p>\n

\n

2. Thinking back on five years of summer camp, every memory was ruined by the same annoying kid. Always whining and complaining, always stumbling and falling and causing medical emergencies, there was never time for anyone else to have any fun. And then there had been the incident with the poison ivy and the freshly washed laundry.<\/h2>\n

A. Thinking back on five years of summer camp, every memory was ruined by the same annoying kid. Always whining and complaining, always stumbling and falling and causing medical emergencies, there was never time for anyone else to have any fun. And then there had been the incident with the poison ivy and the freshly washed laundry.<\/p>\n

Everyone had been affected by Ben’s foolishness that time, even the camp counselors. He’d gotten poison ivy on every tee shirt and pair of underwear that went through the wash that day.<\/p>\n

The last two weeks of camp had been spent miserable and itchy, especially once the supply of calamine lotion and oatmeal ran out.<\/p>\n

\n

3. It was a harmless prank. A little poison ivy in a pair of underwear and laughter all around. There was no reason to get the police involved.<\/h2>\n

A. The arrests were made during fourth period. Three sophomores and one freshman were cuffed and dragged out of school by the police on charges of bullying, physical assault, and attempted poisoning. All the students and teachers came out into the hall to watch it happening before the principal ordered everyone back to class.<\/p>\n

Once they realized what was happening, the four insisted that it had been a harmless prank. They’d put a little poison ivy in a pair of underwear. It was supposed to be funny. There was no reason for anyone to call the police.<\/p>\n
