POEM: A wish

By Nadia Sullivan-Nightengale

All I want is for you to be with me on the count of three.

You break my heart with a start.

You are now in an endless sleep that makes me weep.

The only thing that remains is a wish, a wish for you to be with me.

Now I sit here waiting to be with you, a wish.

POEM: A lost cause

By Nadia Sullivan-Nightengale

Where are ye with eyes so bright?

Who calmed me through the night.

A lost cause are ye? Or will we prevail with might?

Shall ye come home to me? Or will ye forever be a lost child. A lost cause.

Ghost story: Night of the Living Dolls

By Nadia Sullivan-Nightengale

It was a dark and stormy night. Two girls were having a sleepover. Their names were Anna and Melody. They were playing dress up.

 Then Anna said, “Could you go down in to your basement and get some more of those old dress up clothes?”

 “Well… Ok.” So Anna slowly descended the staircase. As she went down she noticed that it seemed that some of her mom’s old dolls were watching her.

 Later that night Melody was awakened bye a scream. Next to Anna there was one of the dolls with a knife. To this day only Melody knows why Anna is afraid of dolls.
