When I look through my bedroom window into the darkness that is the backyard, I cannot help but feel curious about what I see beyond the frigid pane. I cannot tell if it is reality or just a part of my imagination. I have a notebook, chock-full of pages that describe nights like this, of how I see a tall black being at the end of a slithering pathway near the back gate at the corner of our paint-chafed garage. I know that when we create eye contact, that we can see each other. But, I feel as if though, that when I see him, he is not an ordinary person. He feels ethereal. I guess I can say he is a silhouetted form of a ghost. Inspired by a night of staring out my own window at my own backyard, it’s a story where the world is not always viewed with rose-colored glasses, and sometimes, those stories are the best. One of three Halloween-themed short stories I have in mind for the holiday.

When Mia Byers, Cedarfield Heights' popular girl, starts Grade Eleven, she can't help but be judgemental and criticizing of all the guys in her grade. When her friends, Audrey Spring and Stella Odell accidentally stumble upon her critique of some of the boys in their grade, Mia comes up with a plan. She would make a scrapbook full of her honest opinions and critiques about all the guys, for the sake of the female population at school (so they can refine their dating preferences) and for bonus points in popularity. What Mia doesn't know is if the Gradebook will affect her long-sour and non-existent friendship with Ethan Rayes. Best friends in elementary, frenemies in middle school, and... aquaintances in high school. Just when she thought she had a chance to straighten things up with him, there was only one major obstacle standing in her way. The Gradebook.
