Ink and Opinion
October is here, dear readers, and Elements continues. October to me marks the beginning of fall, and the end of warmth. It brings with it a spirit of spirits, the supernatural and spooky. I think often, October brings out the child in us, whether it is frolicking in the corpses of dead leaves, or theContinueContinue reading “Ink and Opinion”
A Sea Captain’s Tale
Siana Grade 10 The night was eerily quiet as I made my way across the deserted harbour. People in their homes, wrapped in the comforting embrace of their loved ones, their faces warmed by the embers of a glowing fire. Oblivious of the cold night air, and of the brewing storm that others had toContinueContinue reading “A Sea Captain’s Tale”
Horror
anonymous Darkness at night scares me. Most nights, I think someone is following me home. Like tonight, I can hear creepy sounds which make me think of the horror movies I’ve watched. But I ignore the negative thoughts, and pick up my pace to match that of Olympic athletes. A minute later I’m stopping forContinueContinue reading “Horror”
Whispers
anonymous The noise was getting too much. Suddenly, without warning, it stopped. Silence. The relief was immeasurable. Yet after a few seconds, the silence was overwhelming. Oppressive.

I don’t know how I got to this point or what really happened all I know isContinueContinue reading “Toothache”
The Dog
Cindy Grade 10 Paws limping and bones frail,The devil crosses the road and wags its tail.Trim lawns glisten in the suburban night,Bloodshot eyes glow beneath the streetlight.Up the steps, past the picket fence,The crickets silence and the winds tense.Inside, the children are talking in the distance,Mother sets the table, father pretends to listen.The demon onContinueContinue reading “The Dog”

The House At the End of the Street
Zanier Grade 12 The house at the end of the street.With its foundation made of concrete.Looking at the neighborhood with malice,Daring anyone to enter this palace. This house was not something friendly.Anyone who went in it found it deadly. This house not only had dead mice,But souls who had to pay the price.
