treat tbe By Dan Hued Running down a dark, dismal alley, I lunge into a connecting alley, dark and dreary, full of decay with all of its creatures of the night, like its brother in this maze of evil. My lungs scream for air, precious as it is; my legs yearn for rest; my heart pounds in my throat with fear; my chest burns with fire. But I can not rest for a minute, for I see the shadow of my entity, gliding swiftly after me on the wall behind me. A black cat pounces on me from its perch knocking me down into an army of garabage cans with its legions of garbage. As lumbering footsteps echo in the darkness, I hastily retrieve my senses and trudge through another dark, twisting alley. I hear my tormentor mocking me, in his low, deep, coarse voice saying, h^h,«^U "You can run, but you can't hide. You will never be safe from me. I am the unknown face within you. In time you will succumb to my will" I rushed down the alley to find it elongated with each passing momwnt. The entity approached the entrance of the alley, raising hia long,long arms out to me, and grinned triumphantly, "You are mine." It seemed as if time and space were frozen for an eternity. I screamed as he came closer and closer and... I awoke with a start as streams of sweat trickled down mv face.

But when you become old and grey you are then tossed aside with the other junk to rot away for eternity. Internal Inferno By Saha The climb is long and tiring, The struggle never ending I twist, I turn trying to unlock the bank that knows all. The secrets of my past untold Moments pass, memories come and go Trying to hold on, letting go time running out, Things unfinished Panic Reaching out... I grasp nothing Nothing I hold in my clutches. Nothing is the Dark Blanket before my eyes. My past Remembering nothing, Seeing only darkness -Solitude Sinking deeper, and deeper into the recesses of my mind Deeper I fall Unable to reach out, To stop Lost is the struggle Gone is the battle I want out - I scream My voice echoes into to hollow pit I know so well The pit of Hell You cm J*y rioit W'fi.T do*? etot kho» *>/ »*/ mem bout At mC setoot Xtf/'Aes.S Somethin) Comphfejy unCoJf^n ter Ju.it KafftneJ fo a. n/c$ b it/t e/J fajyf by Michele Carlin Page 6 Music playing in the Background Friends waving hello and laughing at my appearance Do they realize that I am dead or do they think of it as a joke. Just minutes ago I was laughing too, but now, not even a word comes from my lips. Not Not only students are gone but teachers too. We are dying every twenty minutes But who ever said that life is fair. I an angry because I am so young, What will my friends and family do now that I am gone. Who will be the one to do all that I s'Vt out to do? As I walk through the campus people dodge me because of the fear they have about death. They tell one another that "This is ridiculous, it will never happen to me." Those frightening words echo through my mind. Do they realize that it takes only one drunk driver to hit their car and then they will be gone. Please God, stop the madness. Don't let anyone else die today. It's not fun being dead. Nor is it fun to be white-faced while every one else is living. Life is something we take advantage of IN one second my life was taken away today I was scared but most of all upset. I was upset because I thought of all the people that had died before me and all that would follow me as a result of drinking drinking and driving.
