Back-to-School Supply Rift

Stationers' back-to-school displays summon creatures when lists are read aloud—ink elementals, ruler serpents, eraser slimes. Parents riot for refunds; teachers arm themselves with compasses. Close the rift in the bargain bin, hunt the supplier feeding on anxiety, or enroll the monsters in a truce before the first bell.
