Fever Now: Her Story On A Plague Not Yet Happened
Submitted by rebecca_v on October 2, 2007 - 18:53.This is an excerpt from a larger piece I'm writing.
“Why don’t you listen to me, Angela?” it was the voice, a whisper, harsh, and without feeling. Cold.
“Hello? Who are you?”
“Angela, leave. Leave before you can’t.”
“Answer me!”
Week 28; Wishing for a new start-Dion

Eyeliner in my pocket
using it has made my vision blurry
Now I am near-sighted
with no money for glasses,
or a New Baby
The cold wind on my cheek
Blowing through my hair,
I stand
Waiting, on a park bench
I’m not sure for what
Just waiting.
Waiting

Week 28; Hurtful words-Coburn
Submitted by michelle09 on August 22, 2007 - 11:19.Gay is not a Disease
By Michelle Coburn
Oxbow High School, Grade 10
It really ticks me off
When people try to act like god
The hurtful things they say
All because this boy is gay
They have no right to judge
They have no reason to hold a grudge
He is sweet and he is kind
How can everyone be so blind
Week 28; Constituents of Life-Redden

By Emma Redden
Leland and Gray Union High School, Grade 9
My vocabulary consists of
Five words from the time
I step into my plastic casket
Until it is time for me to
Reincarnate myself.
My one sided conversations consist of
Four syllable sentences.
The first few words a kindergartener
Learns when playing store.
Week 28; Bad Weather-Purdy

By Thomas J. Purdy
Rochester High School, Grade 9
I’m angry at Mother Nature,
It’s too chilly and too cold,
Spring better come early,
Just as the groundhog told.
I can’t go swimming on ice,
Can’t kick a soccer ball on snow,
I pray spring will arrive soon,
But all signs point to no.

By Ali Whitman

Here we are at the Brattleboro funeral home. I’ve never been to one of these things before, I’m not quite sure what to expect. Will the casket be closed? Will the casket be open? Will there be music? Will it be silent?
