By Elijah McArdle Chances are, if you haven’t taken any of his classes, you’ve never heard Mr. Konecke’s name used in discussion. However, it is said that he resides in his classroom, only ever to emerge when absolutely necessary. In addition, if you see an indistinct blur sprint past you at maximum speeds, it may or may not have been Mr. Konecke. One can never be sure. Many a reporter has attempted to reveal the source of his elusiveness - one has succeeded. Mothman is known to be one of many mysterious creatures, comparable to bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Creatures such as these are typically mysterious, but precise, which makes them very comparable to Mr. Konecke himself. When questioned about being Mothman, knowing Mothman or having Mothman-like traits, Mr. Konecke hastily refuted any hint of Mothman relation, but that’s quite the likely story. He also mentions that his favorite food is steak due to the “similarity in taste and texture to human flesh.”
In addition to the offhanded comment that Mr. Konecke periodically “tends to [his] hives,” he also made the comment that he “doesn’t know that [he isn’t] Mothman.” Theoretically, if there was a branch in the FBI to investigate cryptids such as Mothman, this alone would warrant a place on their Mothman watch list. Other than being Mothman, Mr. Konecke also teaches multiple history classes: AP United States History, AP Human Geography and CP Nazi Germany. In addition, most of his students would likely support the claim that the classes are taught in a very different way than most others. He spends lots of class time on unrelated class discussions - such as how the students want to be buried or what they would do in a zombie apocalypse - but of course still manages to teach the material. Some speculate that this supernatural ability stems from his Mothman abilities, but he claims that kids learn better, and therefore more efficiently, when you get to know them and show that you respect them instead of just constantly doing the curriculum. He plans out some discussions, but nonetheless, he manages to balance discussion with education. This kind of environment also creates a community of students that all get to know each other and share all the same inside jokes, which is very rare in most classes. Other than shedding his makeshift exoskeleton when returning to his nest, Mr. Konecke also tries to be himself universally. At home, he is currently renovating a house and tending to his supposedly non-moth related child. He also golfs every weekend - most likely during the night because Mothman would be unable to function properly in the light of day for too long. Mr. Konecke graduated from Misericordia University and Temple University, and his favorite thing to do, other than terrorizing humans, is spending time with family and friends.
