The Witching Hour
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The candle had been lit by a young girl named Susie Connor along with her friends. Each of them, Susie, Sarah, Jo, and Melanie had turned 13 that summer and had just got ahold of something called a Ouija board. This board, they were told, could communicate with the dead and they couldn’t wait to try it. As each had become a teenager, they found themselves wanting to participate in more grown-up type activities rather than just playing with dolls and this seemed like the perfect thing to start with. Sarah’s older sister Celine had got the Ouija board for her 15th birthday and while it seemed like she and her friends had had their fun with it, at 17 now they were much too wrapped up in the world of dating to care about playing with it anymore. Sarah knew her sister would never miss it as she dug it out from underneath a pile of clothes at the back of the closet. She grinned from ear to ear as she plucked it out, knowing that she would have the perfect thing to bring to their annual summer slumber party. Since the girls all have birthdays in the summer, they always do one extra special slumber party towards the end of the summer as a way to celebrate them all. This year, they wanted it to be the best one yet, one that they would remember for many years to come.

Not Your Typical Dad
I never saw what a good dad really looked like until I saw my husband become one to our dog. While having a canine child is not the same as having a human child, there are times when for us it seems comparable. We adopted an adult dog about three years into our marriage when we, or rather I was really feeling the urge to expand our family. I had always had dogs growing up, but his experience was more limited than mine, nonetheless he was also looking forward to bringing a four-legged friend home.
