Quitter’s Inc by Stephen King

Stephen King is unquestionably one the most renowed writers worldwide. His mind is behind more than 50 novels than have been translated into 33 languages. Besides writing novels and short stories, he is also a screenwriter, a columnis, an actor, a television producer, a singer and a musician.
Here is one of his short stories for you to follow while reading:

Empowering Young People

Believe it or not, you have the power to change things. Every single thing you need is within you.
Some years ago, a young 13-year-old hip hop artist and rights activist with a difficult name to memorize but with an unforgettable attitude had a word to say about the power of young people. Just watch him in this TED talk.

A touch of Halloween

As Halloween is closing by, here is a poem written by the American poet, Jack Prelutsky. I hope it won’t “trouble your sleep”!

The Ghoul
The gruesome ghoul, the grisly ghoul,
without the slightest noise
waits patiently beside the school
to feast on girls and boys

He lunges fiercely though the air
as they com out to play,
and grabs a couple my the hair
and drags them far away.

He cracks their bones and snap their backs
and squeezes out their lungs,
he chew their thumbs like candy snacks
and pulls apart their tongues.

He slices their stomachs and bite their hearts
and tears their flash to shreds,
he swallows their toes like toasted tarts
and gobbles down their heads

Fingers, elbow, hands and knees
and arms and legs and feet-
he eats them with delight and ease,
for every part’s a treat.

And when the gruesome grisly ghoul
has nothing left to chew,
he hurries to another school
and waits. . . perhaps for you.
