Let the Long Night End
Part XI
Here Comes the Boogeyman

Children, have you ever met the Boogeyman before?
No, of course you haven't, for you're much too good I'm sure
Don't you be afraid of him, if he should visit you
He's a great big coward, so I'll tell you what to do:
Hush-Hush-Hush
Here comes the Boogeyman!

"It was a strong effort of the spirit of good; but it was ineffectual. Destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction." – Frankenstein

Let the Long Night End
Part VIII
Night and Day

Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you

“I won’t leave you, I won’t leave you
until you fall asleep and dream of the place
where nothing is red.
When is a monster not a monster?
Oh, when you love it.”

Let the Long Night End
Part VII
Time Has Told Me

Time has told me; You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint; A rose with no thorn
Your tears they tell me, there’s really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say

“But when he clearly recognized the pilot,
He cried: “Make haste, make haste to bow the knee!
Behold the Angel of God!” – The Divine Comedy, Purgatorio, Canto II

Let the Long Night End
Part VI
After You’ve Gone

Oh, after the years, we've been together
The joy and tears and all kinds of weather
Someday, blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with me right back where you started
After I'm gone, after I'm gone away

“Hunting is a relic of the barbarous spirit that thirsted formerly for human blood, but is now content with the blood of animals.” ―Christian Nestell Bovee

Let the Long Night End
Part V
It Had to Be You

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found, that somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me feel blue
And even be glad just to be sad, thinking of you.

“When he had made two snips, he saw the Little Red Riding Hood shining, and then he made two snips more, and the little girl sprang out, crying, ‘Ah, how frightened I have been. How dark it was inside the wolf.’” — Red Riding Hood.

Chapter 1: Hi my name is Teresa. Officer Jim has taught me a lot of things. For example the 8 ways to say no to drugs. How gangs can affect your family if you enter one. These young people get involved in gangs because they have lower self-steem, and they think these people are their friends. It is not good being in a gang because if you try to get out you can get killed. I also learned that nicotine is a substance that is found in cigarettes. Drinking alcohol can cause accidents, chage your personality, and you can have trouble learning and remembering.
