Informal Theme #3: Stepping stones to the light

It was a cold afternoon for me, gray clouds surrounding the school grounds. We left the school to buy our lunches at 7-11. As I reached the gate of our school, the surrounding suddenly turned dark. A women approached me. Her looks were fierce as a vampire, but I couldn't deny, she's a goddess. Her skin was white as Snow White's, lips red as cherry, and eyes with the perfect shape. She was wearing a black silky elegant long dress. She stood up beside me and offer her hand to me. I immediately hold on to her for the fear of the place. The gate suddenly opened and I saw the inscriptions on the floor, "Welcome to TerraSpheraCircles". It was kind of awkward name but what caught my attention was the following seven steps. The lady introduced herself to me, she was Tiffany. She was the one assigned to accompany me throughout these steps.

The first one was for the students who came pass 7:00 in the morning. Here, guards Taeyeon. She insructed the students to make a three page essay for why they came late ate school.

The second one was for the late comers, here guards Jessica. All those students who entered the school from 6:45-7:00 were asked to clean the field for their first period.

The third one was for the school-uniform violators, here guards Sunny. All those students who doesn't wear their identification card, folds their sleeves and those who doesn't have the school logo on their uniform are punished here. They are told to stand up straight carrying three hardbound books of algebra for the rest of the day.

The fourth one was for noisy students, here guards Hyoyeon. Students here are punished through a game, all those who will be seen opening their mouth, or seeing their teeth or tongue will be punished for fifty squats.


The fifth one was for slothful students, here guards Yuri. Students who are slothful are instructed to run around the school campus for 10 times.

The sixth one was for students who involved bullying, here guards Sooyoung. Brutal bullies were instructed to carry such heavy loads and verbal bullies were instructed to create an essay about themselves with their mouth taped.


The seventh one was for cheaters, here guards Yoona and Seohyun. The two were the youngest among the guards. The students here were instructed to go to school with folders attached to both side of their faces.

After the last step, they were able to finish the Terraspheracircle and see the light covering he school.
