Synopsis

School Days with its thrill of learning, the bittersweet delight of the first school yard crush, and the increasingly tedious round of homework evokes a unique mix of exhilaration, expectation, and relief. The first six chapters of School Days is a collection of poems inspired by these nostalgic moments such as the wonder and heart break of young love, the thrill of passing an important mile marker, and the physical grind of pushing oneself to the mental limit to complete a seemingly impossible assignment.Chapters seven through nine are two stories inspired by school. The first story entitled Beware of the Wrath of Medeia, was a class assignment to rewrite the famous tale. And centers around the emotional trauma and turmoil of a woman who has given heart and life to her beloved Jason who, like in the tale of old, when a chance to improve his circumstances arises leaves her for the arms of another woman. The second story, entitled The Brief Romance of Katti B., which was inspired by the course work in English II, is the compelling story of an orphan girl who has fallen in love with the most eligible bachelor in town. But her love is complicated by the sudden death of her entire family has struck terror into frightened town of Eastville. Believing her to be a carrier of the plague of sudden death, she has been vanquished to her lonesome home on 425 Spinster Lane by the leading minds of the community. Where she was destined to remain until the greedy germs of death consumed her whispy form, or so everyone thought until a string of odd happenings threatened to turn the perfect world of Eastville upside down.
