IS
by C.J. Lawson

As a young boy, Joshua Stone had a brief encounter one late night from his bedroom window with something so hideous and inconceivable, he did everything he could to block it from his memory forever. But forever would be short-lived, and new life would be breathed into the nightmare once more, when its peculiar presence would come back to Joshua yet again in the midst of a terrible storm – twenty six years later. The horrendously inhuman events that follow, set the stage for a shocking reality that will soon change his life, and everything he has come to know about humanity – forevermore.

TEACHER CONFESSIONS:  Chilling in the Barn
Written by Deanna Scelzo
Illustrated by Dan Smith

"Ms. Scelzo, why you always tell us to write about this stuff? It's so hard. I don't have no special place." Tyriq scowled. Ms. Scelzo, feeling like a failure once again, is frustrated when her students struggle to write about the topic she assigns. Why can't these kids use their imaginations? Must be all those video games and too much T.V., she thinks to herself. In an attempt to help her students with their writing assignment, she tells them of a place where she spent so much time as a child. The big, old barn was her special place to get away and just "chill." She describes a much simpler time when life was more carefree, and time seemed to pass much slower. Ms. Scelzo realizes how lucky she was to have had this childhood and the reason her students struggle with some of the topics she assigns is not from lack of imagination, but because of a much different existence.
