Fukuoka, today
A high school baseball coach has confessed to killing four of his team members here today.
The coach, whose name has been withheld for reasons of anonymity, was stopped for
speeding while driving to work, and during the subsequent police interview offered the information voluntarily.
The four children, aged fifteen to seventeen, had been missing since July, and their corpses
displayed outside the school gym since sometime in August. The coach told police that he killed
the boys in an attempt to instill some "patriotic fighting spirit" into them.
The principal of the school, whose identity is being withheld for semantic reasons, expressed regret
over being caught in the incident. "If it wasn't for old flapmouth Kobayashi, this would never have come
to see the light of day. I've a good mind to suspend him with pay for a shortish period of time." The
incident is not the first murder to take place at the school, whose name is being kept secret for reasons
of massive bribe money changing hands behind the scenes. In 1998, two students were crucified
upside down over a cess pool for failing to respect a teacher fully. Then in 2003, an entire second year
class was shot in the head, execution style, by a teacher generously saving them from the upcoming
American invasion.
The latest murder comes soon after several students were murdered in another Fukuoka school
by an art teacher as punishment for their failure to draw the hieroglyphic for bara 40,000 times
without missing a stroke. Parents of the elementary school children have launched a campaign to
express discontent with the running of the school to no one in particular.
Meanwhile, the police are continuing their investigation which centers on various incompatible
statements made by the coach. "In one statement he claimed that he had orange juice on
September 3rd, 1973," explained a detective whose name is being withheld for no apparent
reason at all, "yet in another statement, he claimed it was coffee." Police expect the investigation
to run for about as much time as it takes for everybody to forget about the whole thing and the bribe
money to come through.
