Escape Pod 964: Show and Tell (Flashback Friday)
Show and Tell By Greg van Eekhout Teacher is an old-fashioned bug with a blue carapace and eyes like two domes of gold beads. She is very pretty and smells like follow, but when she flutters her wings you better look smart or you'll get her stinger in your belly. So we are quiet. We are three rows of quiet children, blinking slowly and steadily, as is polite. "Today, we are having Show and Tell," Teacher says, bending her antennae towards us. "I am certain you have all brought wonderful shows."
