In the Walls

Madura Muraleetharan (11) – STAFF REPORTER

Nobody knows about the bodies in my walls. There are so many of them. Their rotting stench ghosts into and infests my very mind. Some of them are raw, fresh. I can feel their warmth through the layers of insulation, drywall, and paint. Their downtempo heartbeats pulse throughout the whole room. A whimper. A sniff. A final beat. You can practically hear their eyelids latch closed, their eyelashes brushing their cheekbones. read more

The Clown Statue

Jessica Ng (11) – STAFF REPORTER

There once was a teenage girl babysitting for an affluent family. It was a stormy and dark evening as the rain and strong winds bashed against the windows. In this large and spacious house, there were many ancient artifacts, paintings, sculptures, and statues. As the parents were going out the night, the father instructed that the babysitter put his two children to bed and that she could watch TV in the basement. The teenager was not allowed to wander the house. read more

Meeting Lady Frankenstein

Mahraeel Tadros (12) – STAFF REPORTER

“Hey, look over there!” the fake-fanged boy in the vampire cape pointed behind his companion’s shoulder. It was Halloween, the sky was beginning to darken – it was going to be a moonless night. The other boy, Miguel, has fake stitches on his arms and face, Frankenstein-style. Turning to look, Reemo, dressed as a vampire, knocked the breath out of an unsuspecting Miguel. A few of the other trick-or-treaters stopped and gave the boys scornful looks at Miguel’s startled cry. read more

Being Grateful

Jin Schofield (9) – STAFF REPORTER

It’s sunrise. The sound of screeching birds and the heat of the blazing sun have woken me up. Uganda’s hot, parched climate has stolen one of my younger sisters from my family before, and I will never allow it to again. My mother and brothers are still asleep. By the time they awake, hopefully, I will have returned with some cold water from the village well. I set out from the few wood blocks that make up my humble home and walk barefoot for two miles before reaching the well. This trek isn’t easy, but knowing that with a mere walk, I can keep my family alive for one more day is more than I could ever ask for. read more

What I’m Thankful For

Connor Dong (12) – STAFF REPORTER

Dear readers,

Many things in life we take for granted, like our education, food, and shelter. Many people around the world do not even have access to these basic needs.
