dais‚ alone and unprotected. As floods of small schoolboys flowed into the room in unrelenting waves‚ I began to realise the full extent of my vulnerability. Standing at the highest point in the room‚ I was an obvious target. Any of the malevolent children below me could easily hit me with a heavy object or swarm on me like a crowd of ants‚ overwhelming me with sheer force of numbers and sending me tumbling to the ground.
