an empty school

Have you ever wondered what goes on in an empty school during the weekend? Well this weekend I borrowed a school for a teacher training and wandering the darkened hallways we encountered one of those desert creatures you rather not ever stumble upon.

Was it a snake?...nope, not quite that long. 

A tarantula?...nope, but it did have eight legs.

It was a GIANT... DESERT... HAIRY... SCORPION. 

And that is the real name of this creature. A giant desert hairy scorpion

Yuck!

All weekend I made up stories in my head of the adventures this not so little guy was having in the halls of an empty school until we so rudely captured him and set him free outside - far from the school building.
