It’s Not About Ghosts, I Promise
Zoe Bocek ‘24 It’s silent in your house. Or at least, it’s silent to you. There are sounds—but they are the sounds you’ve known for as long as you’ve lived here; the washing machine, the fridge, the buzzing of lights, the dishwasher, the creak of that one floorboard, or that one door hinge. It’s…

The Moon and her Knight
Brooklyn Welch ’25 On a small plane of space, the moon began to cry. “I’ve become ugly,” she whispered. A wandering knight, sleek white in dark hues, sat on a star to look at her. “How so?” “I’m forgotten. I hardly ever see a soul look at me,” the moon sighs; “ugly things are forgotten.”…

The Caledon Chronicles
Mason Beckett ‘27 Chapter 1 It all began in the winter. The fateful time when harsh zephyrs blew strong and thick white snow clung to the frozen ground.

F. Ridley
Aki Anandam ’24 Several years had passed since he left the farm, but F. Ridley never forgot the sweet scent of grapes that floated across the land. The autumn winds would carry the scent throughout the plains, and if he closed his eyes now, he could almost taste it. He was a long way from…

ecosystem
Grace McGowan ’26 in a place not so far away: unruly divots of metal and glass strain towards the sun; deep grooves, intersecting lines drawn in dirt long ago; a tangle and tumble of roots underfoot, threaded together in knots and strands. life teems at all hours relentlessly, it is inescapable: voices like bumblebee hums …

The Day
Dominic Giuzio ’24 I. One moment The sun stands against a blue backdrop, The air is sweet as nectar, Warmth embraces the world, And cheerful conversations Meander across green clearings.

Upside Down
Andrew Morrell ’24 The clacking of my blinds As a gentle breeze blows Through the open window Carrying the smell of a fresh downpour A gentle pine scent And the soft chirping of birds As they begin their morning songs Fluctuating with the blinds as they sway Is the morning sun Devouring my room And…

Peace
Ardaja Callandret ’24 Sometimes, you sweat so much that your face gets hot, and you feel like you’re in a sauna. Sometimes, your lung capacity shortens, and you feel like you are close to death.

When Intelligence is Artificial
Franny Broderson ’24 We lose our minds. Lost like misplaced keys Subconsciously stashed in your pocket. Whispers of guilt and curiosity buzz in your ear. You want to feel the magnetic keyboard Pulling your fingers. You want to lose your mind To the one that’s fake.

The students have Questions
El-Shaddai Fessehatsion ‘24 I have so many questions So many thoughts But a voice so quiet And young It is drowned in the echos it holds no power They all decide what I learn As I sit back and watch Like an owl observing the world My life falls into their hands How come my…

The all-knowing mind
Franny Broderson ’24 Is wanted dead By the people who like knowing They are only human. Spines of kids in stiff rows ache. Maybe half think for themselves, But all are watched.

A Lost System
El-Shaddai Fessehatsion ‘24 A full classroom A lost teacher A confused society All seeking one answer. How much do we teach? What is too much? The students have questions.
