Vampire Girl
Today was just a regular day or so I thought, waking up to a cool fall day with my window slightly cracked feeling the fresh breeze on me. I decided to visit a friend of mine. I’ve never been to his house before so I had to look up directions, his house was a casual walk away from the subway. I was taking a lot of turns onto new streets hoping I haven’t gotten myself lost and could remember the way back before it got dark. I could hear the loud rustling leaves underneath my feet. I finally found the correct street and my mind was at ease, as I came closer to the house, I walked up the steps and rung the doorbell. I waited for a few and I found that my friend was not at home. I was surely disappointed. I started heading back from the same direction I had came from. I remember him telling me about a new club near his house, I thought I might as well check it out, since now I had the time to spare. Now it was starting to get darker the more I walked the colder it was getting. I finally found the exclusive club, I could see its small brick building, It did not have a sign out front, as if it didn’t want to be known. Hoping it would have an intimate setting inside. I opened its doors and alas I was right the place was nearly pitch black. A few dim white lights that made it seem so mysterious, there was hardly any sound coming from the place even though there were people drinking at the bar, there was a stage, at which a band was getting ready to play. I walked over to the bar, I noticed a small group of interesting people, I walked over to them and complimented one girl on her outfit, which was like a one piece silver jumpsuit that had a zipper, unzipping all the way down in the front leading to her hips. They all looked at me at the same time, she smiled and said thanks. As she smiled back at me I noticed her teeth were long, sharp fangs. I said to her "Oh my you must be a vampire." She softly said "yes I am." I wasn’t afraid at all, it's as though it was a natural thing. She wanted to show me her fangs. She allowed me to touch them. She was with two of her friends, a girl and a guy. She asked me if I wanted to come back to her place and I kindly said yes. As if I was under a little trance. I noticed they all had this special unique looking septum ring almost a hook like. I asked about it, and she told me. "It is ancient, it is a very important necessity for vampires to wear this, we have to wear this in the daylight it allows us to bear sunlight, and we can take it off when it becomes nightfall, but some like to wear it all the time, it is a symbol of the old times. If we didn’t wear it in the sunlight we would die." She was so open and honest with me, telling me these vampire secrets. As we were walking back to her house, the others were extremely quiet. We approached her house, her house was a greenhouse, she loved plants. She offered me a glass of wine, she jokingly said it wasn’t blood, only wine. These vampires really liked their alcohol. They were in their mid to late twenties, well human years at least. It suddenly got quiet, she said she wanted to ask me a serious question. She asked me if I would like to become a vampire. Wow I said I thought about it quite a few times in my life, thinking what if would be like to live forever, I was taking deep breaths, it was surely a life changing decision, thinking about it in a positive way. That’s all I said, a few minutes passed. She told me she hadn’t turned anyone into a vampire yet and it was her time to do so. She wanted me. I still wasn’t scared. I felt some kind of aura of goodness surrounding me. I guess it was something I wanted to. She could tell I was leaning towards it, almost ready to tell her my answer. But I didn’t have to answer. I didn’t have the time to answer. That guy who was with us just standing there rushed towards me in a swoop of a second, I thought he was going to bite my neck but he didn’t, instead he forcefully grabbed me, grabbed me by the arm, rolled up my sleeve, by this moment I was frightened, not ready for it to happen so fast. But vampires are so dramatic. It all happened so fast he bit my wrist so hard, she was just standing there watching me, knowing what was happening, because she had been through it before. I was looking at her while he was sucking all of my blood out of my body, all I could see was red everywhere, and then all of a sudden I saw pitch black, that’s when I knew my body was dying, It felt like my body had left itself. That’s when she walked over to me and put a drop of her blood into my wrist, the final touch that would make me a complete undead vampire. I stood up, there was no more pain, as I stood up I could feel my vampire fangs grow in, she said here you need blood since you don’t have any anymore. I took her wrist and sucked her blood into my mouth, and it was good. I told her I wanted more, and she said soon my dear, it lasts you a while. She was my maker, she loved me. She pierced my nose and said this is yours now, you deserve it, wear it proudly, it hurt for a second, still had a slight human emotion left, but that would change all in time. I learned that they were psychic vampires, they could communicate with each other using their minds, that’s why they were always so quiet, they were talking to each other inside their minds telepathically. They also use energy and the capability of reading humans minds, so they knew I wanted to be a vampire so they took action quickly.

Review of 'The Platform'
Parables come in all kinds of platforms. The Platform, a Spanish film with English subtitles now on Netflix, is a story about the essence of humanity tested to its very limits. That’s a worthy parable, to say the least. Unfortunately, this movie’s unique way of telling it is disgusting, in the literal sense of that word. The question is: was that kind of stomach-turning story necessary to convey such a crucial message?

The Ghost in Jersey
It was then that she realized the truth. She bolted out the door and drove straight to the last place she saw him, Point Pleasant, New Jersey. She sat on a bench and waited, taking in all of the sounds around her. Children ran ahead to various rides and games giggling with glee as their parents chased them attempting to get them to slow down or stay put. The bells and whistles of fair games were faint behind all the commotion of the pier goers. Beyond the sound of games were the sounds of the fair rides that echoed as if they were going to break down, yet everyone had strict faith in their sturdiness. Everyone around her seemed to be having the time of their life, but not her. She waited silently looking out at the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean patient as can be.
