Something Sinister: Two Creative Works

The Spark received two creative submissions with a darker flair. In both these pieces the line between reality and the imagination blurs, and the protagonists face the horror that often surrounds us.

Edie Berke, a freshman, describes her piece, "Blurred Lines," as a story about "a girl visiting her grandparents who makes a deadly mistake."

Morgan Juarez-Murray, a freshman, submitted a narrative poem called "The Note," about "A boy whose big brother has run away, leaving a note to tell his family not to worry about him." Juarez-Murray wrote the poem "because in the past I had thought about running away from home, but knew my parents wouldn't be able to take care of my little brother just by themselves."

If you can't get enough of the creepy and terrifying, these two submissions deliver.
