This week, we're looking at some strange and powerful dangers that lurk in places you might not expect, a good reminder

of why you should always keep your guard up.

First up, a group of students play a game of tag with an interesting ending rule, but it

seems that this particular game may have been going for quite some time now.

When will it end?

Find out in Never-ending Tag.

This happened when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, when I was in the same class as someone called

S. He was the type of guy who always acted really weird and suspiciously. He always slept

during class, and all he ever did was eat lunch and then go home. Everyone, everyone in class

always made fun of him, and I did too.

Looking back on it now, maybe he was mentally handicapped.

I was in the same class as him in the third or fourth grade as well, and this one time we all played tag together.

We had this rule that once the bell rang and you sat down on your chair, the game was

over.
