“The Night of the Cemetery” One Halloween night when I was a younger girl I was told “The Night of the Cemetery.” My dads dad, so my grandpa, told me about it. He was Hughes in the story. He told me it was true and it wasn’t just some scary fake Halloween story told around bonfires to spook you before you go to bed that night, it was really true. One night my son asked me to tell him a spooky story to get him ready for Halloween night, I decided he was old enough to hear the story my grandpa told me around his age. So I sat him down and told him the story just as I remembered it. December 11th, 1997 was the night we lost Jake. Jake was a tall lanky boy that was on the basketball team with short brown hair and blue eyes. All the girls gawked about him but Anne was the lucky one to have him. They had been dating for over a year now so there relationship had gotten pretty serious. The night we lost Jake had been a normal night. Anne, his girlfriend at the time, had been helping Jake with homework but went home for the night around 9 PM. She has long blonde wavy hair with perfect skin. She is the tallest girl in her class being 5’9, which was something Jake loved about her was how tall she was. Anne and Jake have the same friends that attend school with them. There friends including Anne had known that Jake wanted to meet Mary the ghost or just see what all the hype was about during the night at the cemetery. Anne had already told him it was a pointless idea he needed to drop…

I turned away from mom energetically taking pictures of everything and everyone to observe my not-so-new surroundings and to think about our reason for coming here. We had actually visited this…

I walked through Whiterun chatting to some of the locals who I now knew well enough to make casual conversation with, I was interested to note that Mikael, Carlotta and Ysolda now all seem to be firm friends. When they saw me Mikael moved over to my side and admitted the girls had caught him watching, and were so turned on by it, they now let him watch, as being watched aroused them all the more, and they want me to know I’m welcome to join them any time I wish. Nazeem made some comment about me…

In the few ways tobacco companies are able to reach and influence younger audiences, a specifically potent one is when the movie’s titular characters radiate a confident and desirable personality that coincides with their usage of cigarettes.

Not everything you see in the movies is real? A common saying that is passed on from time to time. Do you remember staying up all night from watching that scary movie you weren’t supposed to watch, and later realizing that the monster in the movie is not real.

Recently I have read a book called “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer and later on saw the Movie too, which was directed by Sean Penn,…
