Since August, eight students who volunteered to serve as the school mascot, have met their demise because of various heat-related issues, including spontaneous combustion. “I think I can handle the heat,” junior Ambur Flemez said. “Being inside the mascot costume isn’t as bad as it looks,” he said 10 minutes before the ambulance was called due to him catching on fire. In order to fill the role of the Akins Eagle mascot, the school has considered implementing a draft system, in which students are randomly chosen to fulfill the duty of being the mascot until they graduate or cannot endure the pain and suffering any longer. “It’s so hot in this suit. I’m sweating puddles. I think I might pass out,” senior Sunny Days said. “This seems like a great opportunity to me,” said the new mascot student, after having to replace the last student who vaporized in the middle of the last quote. This is, of course, satire.
I can’t imagine how they deal with that, being so active
