He thought the street must have been closed for some kind of parade that he didn’t hear about, so he decided to walk to work. After the twenty minute walk, he got to work. No one was there. He suspected something was up. He went to his desk and made some phone calls. Every single call went to voicemail. Now he was panicking. He started sweating badly and his bones began to ache. His vision became blurry and insects started crawling out of his skin. Within seconds, he fell to the ground. The last thing Gary remembered hearing was a deep, echoing voice saying, “We got all of them.”

One night it was Halloween and I went trick or treating with my friend Maya. It got dark and foggy and Maya was scared. I tried to convince her that there was nothing to be afraid of. We heard a sound in the bushes . . .suddenly a werewolf jumped out! We screamed very loud and ran as fast as we could. We still heard the
footsteps of the werewolf, coming behind us, getting closer and closer. We came to a huge wall and stopped. The werewolf stopped, too and said, “Can’t I have a hug?” The werewolf didn’t want to hurt it, it wanted to make friends. He invited us to have dinner with him for Halloween. He made delicious carrot soup and he wanted to share!

She was never home because she was busy looking on her iPad for Evil Henchmen to help her with her mission. She wanted to take over the world and make it evil. The old lady never threw parties. Nobody even stepped foot near her house. If anyone even stepped foot there, they would never step out. There was a happy family who moved in one house down from the old lady. They loved to golf and eat doughnuts. One day they disappeared. The same thing happened to anyone who lived near the old lady’s house. One day the old lady went to town, and there was a little girl in a Toy shop with her mom. The old lady said, “Come here. I have something for you.” The girl looked at her mom. Her mom nodded and said, “Go ahead.” Big Mistake. Then, the little girl went ahead. She walked over to the old lady. the old lady grabbed the girl and took her to her car.

And the rumors that have been passed down from At 11:30 PM I decided I should go because I wanted to stop this once and for generation to generation. By the way my name is Ella and now you will know my all. I went to the graveyard I got there exactly at 11:59 p.m. Nobody came, but story. It was dark and I couldn’t see anything. All I could see were the shadows of what then suddenly poof this evil creature that had no face and was dressed all in black, just appeared out of thin air. Then the evil creature who I had no idea looked like scary monsters to me. It looked like they were creeping up behind me. At that moment, all I could think about was me getting home. I wished I had who or what. It was just poof and I disappeared. I had no idea where I was after that. I as just in this room that was black and there was no way to escape. I done the groceries during the day and when you could see people walking and had no food or water. Eventually I just died. smiling and not when it was dark and lonely. Suddenly, I saw this sign. But what I Ella disappeared and was never heard of again. Her friends and family never knew where she had gone that very night. The people of Spooksville say that Ella roams the streets the night before Halloween collecting mean kids that steal other kids candy and locks them inside the very room that she died. No one knew how Ella had disappeared. So they did not know that there even was a room, so no one has tried to find it. Or have they.

am i pretty?
I was walking home one night after working full day of overtime. The moon was full and the road was oddly misty. I hitched my jacket closer to the neck in an attempt to warm up from the biting cold. Everything was quiet but there was an eerie howl in the wind. I started to walk quicker clicking my heels on the ground as I sped through the mist. I didn’t know why but it started to feel oddly cold on my back. Maybe it was just the cold, but it was a chilling cold, like the eyes of a paranormal being were set on me. I stopped and slowly turned around. I almost screamed when I saw the figure standing only ten feet away. I knew I should have run, I knew I “should” have. The figure slowly walked up to me and I could barely make out that it was a woman with a medical mask on her face. “Um hello, may I help you?” I stuttered. She didn’t answer but kept walking closer. I started to slowly back away and turn my body the other direction when she spoke. “Am I pretty?” she said in a sweet voice. Pretty? “Why,” I asked myself. I stood in silence looking at her with curiosity. Again she asked the question, “Am I pretty?” This time it sounded more demanding. Still I stayed quiet, but I could tell she was getting impatient. Again, “Am I pretty,” she asked with a more stern voice.
Creepy Quotes “He ate black cheese and then he became a monster . . .” — Mason Barris, Grade 3, Wainscott School I finally spoke up “umm uhh whyy yes,” I said. Her eyes softened and she looked like she was crying. “No one’s ever said that,” she croaked. She started to remove her mask, removing one elastic band at a time. What I saw made me grow pale and fill up my entire being with disgust and terror. Her mouth was disfigured and skin nearly rotting from her cheek. There was a foul smell of acid and black blood was starting to drip from her yellowed teeth. I screamed in an attempt to warn a nearby person and motion for help. It was a failed attempt; no one was around walking at this time of day. “Am I pretty?” she asked again. This time her voice was scratchy and sent chills down my spine. Pretty? What was she talking about; her face was distorted and horrifying. I screamed and ran as fast as my heels could take me. Running in heels wasn’t the easiest thing. I tripped multiple times, making it easier for her to catch up to me. I felt her grab my shoulder as she turned me around to face her. “Am I pretty?” What was I to say? If I say no would she kill me? And what if I were to say yes again? So I made a moral decision. “Yes,” I said trying to sound unfearful. She stopped and looked at me. My stomach turned after breathing in her foul smell of rotting flesh. I covered my
mouth with my hands, as they shook in the process. She took out an object from behind her. Slowly I made it out to be a pair of scissors? “I shall make you pretty like me,” she shrieked with a horrible grin. She grabbed my face and began her menacing work. Snip after snip she planned to tear off my skin. I cried in agony trying to push her away. Her black blood fell in my mouth which caused me to gag, from not only my own blood, but also hers. Still she kept on going running her blade up to my nose and eventually cutting it off. I couldn’t cry anymore. It was too much; I was in too much pain. Why me? When she was done my once grey dress was covered in black and red blood. I felt light headed from blood loss. I didn’t care if she was standing there staring at me. I closed my eyes and blacked out. I hoped to be anywhere but here. When I awoke I felt the same. All that was different was I had a pair of rusty scissors in my hands and a medical mask on my face. I didn’t find it odd though. I wondered how long I was asleep. I looked up at the sky. The moon only showed half of its glow. Was I really out for that long? I wondered what I looked like. I didn’t have a mirror though. Maybe I should ask someone. Maybe I should wait till a full moon so then they can see my face clearly. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do.

Honorable Mention Ashlee Bautista, Grade 1, Westhampton Beach Elementary School
Grade 7-thru 8 third place Jessie Branche, Grade 7, Springs School Rak Pacient had always lived an average life. Average parents, average friends, average grades, average school, and just a plain average life. That is, until a girl named Diavol Cadrul with some interesting features moved to the sleepy town of Adapost. Monday, January 13, 2018 Uh, hi I guess? My mom got me this journal after my last attack (anxiety of course) I really don’t want to use it, but I know my mom will be really upset if i don’t. I’m Rak Pacient and I’m 17. My life is pretty boring. As a 17 year old boy, it’s pretty shocking to say that I have almost never met anyone worthy of really getting to know. I can’t wait to get out of Adapost and live a real, interesting life. Monday, January 20, 2018 There’s a new girl at school with an interesting name. Romanian, like mine. Her name is Diavol Cadrul. She and I have some classes together. She stared at me almost every time. When I caught her, all she did was smile. Last period is when we both have study hall. She sat next to me and said hi. I said hello back. She was wearing Ray Bans even though we were inside and it is winter, blue v-neck t-shirt, black leggings, combat boots and a black jean jacket. Diavol suggested that we hung out sometime. I, being the king of no social life, said sure. What else did I have to do? Saturday, January 25, 2018 Diavol asked if I wanted to go to the movies tonight. I agreed and said that I would pick her up at seven. When I picked her up, she was still wearing the sunglasses that she wore everyday to school. It was a little weird that she was wearing sunglasses at night, but I didn’t ask. We entered the movie and watched a scary movie. It was the most horrifying thing I had ever seen, but Diavol didn’t seem fazed at all. She never took off her sunglasses. Friday, January 31 2018 Diavol and I have become friends now. She still has those
It was a cold and foggy night, The moon was full and bright. They rose from their graves, Under the moonlight’s haze. Moonlight was shining on each head, The heads of those who were long dead. Sluggishly skulking around the tombs, Each dark figure looms and looms. Anyone who passes through, Is sure to be human stew.
sunglasses everywhere she goes and never takes them off. We always sit together in the classes we do have together and eat at the same lunch table. There is one thing about her that I’ve noticed. She has anger issues. She gets mad easy and quick, and once you get her mad, it’s not easy to calm her down. Her jaw clenches and her hands roll up into balls with her knuckles white as snow. Like when Julia Gesec called her a freak for wearing sunglasses all the time. I’ve never seen her eyes but I like to think they are a stormy blue that turn dark when she is mad. Monday, February 3, 2018 Diavol and I hung out again. Nothing special. We just went to the beach and watched the cold waves crash against the shore from my car. We talked. I asked her why she got mad so easily and why she wore the sunglasses even at night. She got mad. Told me that “Never worry about what I’m doing. Only worry about why you’re worried about what I’m doing.” I shut up. Saturday, February 8, 2018 I said I’m sorry to Diavol. She hasn’t been at school for the past week so I just texted her. She said that she accepted my apology but she also said that she wasn’t sorry. I asked her why she wasn’t in school and she did not answer. Friday, February 14, 2018 Diavol was in school today. I got her a rose and she got me some chocolate. Valentine’s day was nothing special before but today it was. Saturday, February 22, 2018 I’m scared. I went out with Diavol today and here’s what happened. Diavol and I both met up at the abandoned raceway on the outskirts of Adapost. We were both in the middle of the raceway when we tripped over a piece of scrap metal from one of the old race cars. Diavol’s sunglasses flew off her face and for the first time I saw her eyes. They was no white in them, just obsidian black. I
Slowly they moved out to the streets, In search of many ghoulish treats. From house to house they went, Scaring and terrifying each resident. Together they went back to their tombs, Which were really their bedrooms. They ate their candy, And thought it was dandy. They shouted aloud, “This Halloween Has made us proud.”
scrambled back to get away from her. “Please don’t be scared!” Diavol begged but I was speechless. “Promise me you won’t tell anyone!” Diavol begged even more. I numbly replied a weak “yes” and scurried to my car. Thursday, February 27 2018 I’ve made a HUGE mistake. I don’t know what came over me. I just couldn’t hold it in. It was during lunch 5th period, I told one of my other friends that Diavol had black eyes with no white in them whatsoever. Him being a blabber mouth, stood on a table and yelled the secret across the whole cafeteria. My eyes widened and I looked around the room to find Diavol staring at me under the sunglasses. I’m really scared that she’s going to do somethRak never finished the diary. Rak was sitting at his desk in his home when Diavol slipped a wet hand cloth over Rak’s nose and mouth. Rak instantly blacked out. Rak woke up in a dark room with ropes around his body so he could not escape the chair he was held captive in. Lights turned on one by one in a single line to the end of the room where Diavol stood with her head down staring at the floor. She picked her head up, her black eyes piercing into Rak’s eyes. Diavol starting flickering like in a video game. A child’s voice rang through the room, one, two, the devil’s coming for you, three, four, better lock your door, five, six, grab your crucifix, seven, eight, better stay up late, nine, ten, never sleep again. Diavol was flickering, coming closer and closer to Rak every time. “You promised” She said, a tear rolling her pale cheek. Diavol got closer to Rak and whispered in his ear, “wake up” Rak woke up in his hospital bed in a cold sweat. “It was just a dream” Rak thought. Just a dream. Rak felt someone watching him and looked to the window on the other side of the room in the hospital wing. A cold wave of dread washed over Rak. Standing on the other side of the window was Diavol. She slowly took off her Ray Bans, revealing her obsidian black eyes. The door knob turned…

Broadway Reporting From
(& Sometimes Off)
By Isa Goldberg
Independent/Joan Marcus, 2015
Roundabout Theatre Company's Old Times. L to R: Clive Owen, Kelly Reilly and Eve Best.
A completely beguiling drama, Harold Pinter’s Old Times, in revival at The Roundabout Theatre, appears static on the surface. With minimal action, in a modern living room, three characters sit around, discuss dinner, catch up on their current lives and reminisce about the past. Who they are, in and of themselves and to one another, sustains a level of ambiguity and creates unease. In this dramatic revival, directed
by the masterful Douglas Hodge, the homoerotic attachment between the two women Kate and Anna, both portrayed with exacting nuance and intention by Kelly Reilly and Eve Best respectively, sharply comes into focus. And as Kate’s husband, Deeley, Clive Owen delivers a terrific portrayal of a man with a vicious edge, shielding a great deal of vulnerability. After all, this is a war over a prized possession, Kate, and Anna is the threat.
REAL ESTATE
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
Beneath the play’s icy façade, the inner lives of the characters are unearthed and emotional upheaval reveals their frightened inner lives. It is an invisible dance of sorts, in which Rashomon-like perspectives are expressed, and all time merges into the present. “We have arrived,” as TS Eliot put it, “At the still point of the turning world.” The allusive lighting (Japhy Weideman) matches Christine Jones’ alluring set. And Constance Hoffman’s costuming highlights the sensuality of two irresistible leading ladies: Reilly and Best.
Sapphires And Mud
Not far away spiritually, Sam Shepard’s Fool For Love, in a Broadway revival by The Manhattan Theatre Club, is set in the Mojave Desert, where seemingly unending and uninterrupted stretches of land lie. Yet the air in this isolated motel room, surrounded by the empty space of the proscenium stage, is infused with emotional volatility and physical violence. It’s the intense chemistry between the two leading actors Nina Arianda (May) and Sam Rockwell (Eddie) that rope us in. Through their interactions with each other, along with the narrative from an old man seated stage front throughout and a gentleman caller, a story emerges. Or is it a multitude of stories, each with variations, some dreamlike, others ostensibly more realistic? As May prods defensively, “You get it all turned around Eddie. You don’t know which end is up anymore.” Regardless, what we see is the
IN THE NEWS
reality these characters create. In this respect, Daniel Aukin’s direction is true to Shepard’s work, to the inability of capturing the allusive American Dream, and to the culture of violence that it depicts. Mostly, it’s the invigorating acting with Gordon Joseph Weiss, who makes a haunting presence as the old man, and Tom Pelphrey as the visitor, that give this production its zing.
The Lovesong Of J. Edgar Hoover
In Perfect Arrangement, 1950s kitsch collides with camp comedy for a frolicking first act. Topher Payne’s new play, produced by Primary Stages Off Broadway at The Duke, captures the ethos of that conservative dull era. “It’s like a Jane Wyman movie, but with Lesbians,” as one of the characters opines. More importantly, it’s a gay play that attacks the traditional white male bastion - the US government, and the misogynist society it reflects. To maintain their front as straight men, Bob and Jim (Robert Eli and Christopher J. Hanke) are married to Millie and Norma, (Mikaela Feely-Lehmann and Julia Coffey) two gorgeous lesbians in a committed relationship. The ensemble of actors works together seamlessly. As directed by Michael Barakiva, Act I takes off as a well-paced farce, with swinging closet doors and broadly stylized performances. By Act II, the plot takes a serious turn. (No spoiler alert, here.) Even with its obvious proselytizing, the show goes over like “a spoonful of Geritol” in a jigger (or two) of vodka, spiked by Jennifer Caprio’s sassy 50s wardrobe, for the ladies.

An asterisk (*) denotes an Indy Best Movie pick. New To Theaters Rock The Kasbah (R) On paper it has hit written all over it. Bill Murray plays a fading rock promoter who goes to Afghanistan and discovers a girl with a terrific voice. Barry Levinson, the director, isn’t quite sure what to do with Murray and myriad all-over-the-map quips and gags. And you never know where Mitch Glazer’s script (Scrooged) ends and Murray’s ad libs begin. Still, the veteran cast led by Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, Scott Caan, and Bruce Willis know how to go with the flow, and fans of Murray will love the typically offensive and often crude zingers and racial stereotypes. It would be better as an SNL skit but it runs for 100 minutes so deal with it. Coming Soon Burnt (NR) The fall and rise of a great chef (Bradley Cooper) looks great in the trailers but is pretty awful in the theaters. Despite a formidable cast led by Emma Thompson and Sienna Miller it is probably going to be available in
your living room before you know it. New On DVD Jurassic World Please Mommy, make them go away! The dinosaurs? No, the sequels. Now Playing Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (R) When these faux documentaries of weird ghost stuff first came out, they were kind of fun in a sophomoric kind of way. Now they are sophomoric in a boring kind of way. Still, they probably make for a fun Friday date – if you are 13 or 14. Gratuitous violence and filthy language? Of course. Pan (PG-13) Whose idea was this? The so-called “prequel” to Peter Pan surely has Robin Williams (Hook) turning in his grave. The cast seems to be having fun but Hugh Jackman (Blackbeard) and the rest seem to forget there is an audience out there to entertain. It’s another box office disappointment for the director Joe Wright (Atonement). Garret Hedlund is the worst Hook ever. A dreadful film that bombs at every level.

While the water boils, sauté the zucchini in half the olive oil for three minutes or until cooked. Then pour the boiling water over the cous cous and cover with plastic wrap for eight minutes. While the cous cous cooks sauté the onion, fennel, and garlic in the rest of the olive oil. When they have become soft, deglaze with the white wine. Reduce the wine by half and then add the tomatoes. Season the fish and cook it for two minutes on each side on a hot grill. When the fish is cooked remove the wrap from the cous cous. Fluff it with a fork and place the zucchini on top followed by the fish and the sauce.
