  • Cheryl Bear: Inappropriate Relationship

    A powerful examination of when things may have gotten too close between a teacher and his student. When news gets out, how will the administration respond? What really happened and who is to blame? Well done!

  • David Hansen: Inappropriate Relationship

    A teenage girl is waiting outside her school in the cold after dark, and as in that old pop song about the pedophile teacher, "his car is warm and dry." The men who teach at Seaview High need to learn a thing or two about gossip in the break room but they are not alone, as every character from the administration on down has an opportunity to make a bad situation worse. Lovitch creates a gripping test-case in how not to handle an allegation. A highly compelling read!
