Student Years: “Marking Out the Path to Be Taken”

Summary "The Street" is a short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in late 1919 and first published in the December 1920 issue of the Wolverine amateur journal.

In this intriguing literary fragment—published seventeen years after Bram Stoker's most famous novel—an English visitor to southern Germany suffers a terrifying ordeal on Meanwhile, the children are having dinner and getting a really weird bedtime story from their supposedly oh so pacifist teacher. In fact, the story is so bad that all hell breaks loose and the dying begins. The Agents takes place at some point in the distant future where humanity, due to economic and climate collapse, now live and die where they work. Designated as ‘‘agents,’’ they never leave the buildings or floors they occupy, instead working ‘‘in front of machines from another century that purr like pets’’ and only exiting their cubicles during designated break times. When they’re not staring at their computers or lining up for a cup of coffee, the agents discuss tactics with the other members of their guild (those not part of a guild never last long). Mainly told in second person (omniscient), Courtois introduces us to Solveig, Theodore, Laszlo, and Clara, who form one of the smaller guilds on the 122 nd floor of Tower 35S. Using their smarts, they have avoided confrontation with the larger guilds. But when the company allows a guild to improve its power-base by pooling ‘‘the productivity potential of its members’’ provided they occupy adjacent cubicles, the intense fight for real-estate means that Solveig, Theodore, Laszlo, and Clara are going to have to do something radical if they are to survive another day in the office. Finding the battered body of a young boy was not unusual in Bloody Mary’s cruel England. However, the stabbed tongue, a false seal and strange letter implicate Princess Elizabeth, threatening to bring down the Tudor Dynasty.And they die in the worst imaginable ways. This story is dark and disturbing beyond compare. Gory graphic scenes of the death of children... This collection of twelve original short stories, all featuring Jane Marple, will introduce the character to a whole new generation. Each author reimagines Agatha Christie’s Marple through their own unique perspective while staying true to the hallmarks of a traditional mystery. A pirate’s view of Neverland - it is unique, shedding light on Peter Pan’s escapades. Rescues filled with feats of derring-do show the audacity of Captain Hook. She’s bold, determined, and has a softer heart than you might imagine for a pirate. Her crew is a fascinating mix of odd characters that you’ll love getting to know. The author has a lyrical way of weaving words together that brings each scene to living color. I love it!" Goodreads review Twelve students and three chaperones enter the woods for a camping trip and none of them come out alive. That's not a spoiler, that is in the book synopsis. So I knew this wasn't going to be all rainbows and lollipops but this guy took it so far deeper and darker than I was expecting. It was nearly relentless. There's a hierarchy to fame – from the Real Celebs who sell their skills as actors and singers, to the Professionally Pretty (the garnish to any occasion), the Hashtag Hustlers, who range from influencers to the social media savvy, to the Hopeless Hangers-On. Everyone has their place in the ecosystem, and knowing your place in that hierarchy is half the fame game won.
