The high school was quiet and vacant as the dead sleeping in the local cemetary. The weekend was coming up very close at Glenbard East high school -- I was standing at my locker struggling to get combination lock open only to come across a huge animal staring back at me. A furry little rodent was hanging in the door cold and as lifeless as the frog I had to disect in biology class. I smiled at the little prank and thought in my mind "Assholes, when are they going to grow up?"
    I thought the little prank was cute but a bit childish -- every thing they did will surely come back to haunt them one one day. Unless something goes out and kills them off one by one. Yes, this has happened four years prior to me entering my freshmen year of high school -- a teacher spoke of a student turning on one of his teachers and poisoned her coffee with his liquid waste. She asked him to get her some water -- instead he took a piss in the cup and filled the rest of it with coffee so she would tell the difference.
    The next day he went and killed the dean for trying to expell him -- the police found the dean of students hanging lifelessly in the back room. The detective working in the school said that the Dean killed himself, but the students in the school knew the real horror behind what happened. A couple days before they found a dismembered arm hanging from the stairs in the room above Rider Hall. One of the teachers made the horrifying discovery -- she asked for a week off after that happened because she cannot stomach the fact of seeing the arm hanging in the rafters. Later on that night, the night janitor found the head that the body belonged to -- only to find himself with a machete thought his gut. No knew the horror that lurked within the hallways of the campus -- that the killer is another face within the shadows. A horror one does not really know for sure -- a time when the victim becomes another hacked up piece of meat.
    The Lombard police department brought in a mortician to indenify the cause of death -- but they could not indenify the finger prints since there wern't any there. They figured that the janitor killed himself like the Dean of students did a week later. The police officer went further down the hall and discover a fetal cat hanging in one of the stairwells. The cat was in a positition of a sacrifice as well as one of the students laying on the stairs -- the cop rolled the unknown over to her back and made the discovery of which left him frozen in fear. Two scapels where located each of her eye sockets.
   One of the police officers saw the murderer -- but only to find out that it was too late for him since he was wearing a dagger in his forehead. as well as a student watching was nailed by huge shard of glass as the cop fell the floors. Impaled by the broken glass; the student was laying in a puddle of blood on the floor and bones were haging out from his legs. Another body in the grave -- perhaps one would call this the cleasing since one of the teachers fucked one of the female students in his office.
   One of the students could be the murderer -- but who's to say or who's to blame? While walking down the hallway, I came across a door with a pool of blood underneath the crack of the door. I opened the door, nice and slow -- only to reveal an unspeakable horror. A badge with a stain of some kind was hanging on the chalkboard and a hand of an unkown origin was impaled to the door. I was thinking -- This could where that shit was coming from.
   Surely my imagination could be running away with me or I have seen one too many Alfred Hitchcock films -- but I cannot denigh the horror within the hallways of my high school. Inside of one the lockers one could see a body crumbled up in sheet -- hiding a corpse of some kind. The smell was undenighable -- a combination of blood and shit filled the hallway as the body fell out of the locker lifelessly and as cold as a fish. The body was on the floor -- back facing the ceiling, a shiny object was pointing up in the air and covered with a bright red liquid.
    One of the Police Officers on duty came over to where I was -- saw the body and tried to hand cuff me. Officer Perretti said, "You're under arrest."
   " I didn't do a fucking thing -- all I did was open up the locker and this body popped out of the locker. Look I found a hand hanging in one of the class rooms -- I will take you to where I found it. I knew about the killings before they even happened -- I saw them in my dreams. A couple days ago -- a dead rat was found in my locker. The inside of my locker was covered with blood from the rat. "
   The officer indentnified the body on the floor as Elizabeth Lovejoy. This disturbing since I saw her in English class a few days before -- She asked the teacher if she could go to the nurse, but she never returned that day. The next two days her body appear to be missing and today they found her body in crumbled heap in a locker -- her neck was cut from behind and in her back was a machete. The horror has struck the eyes of the police officer when he walked into the stairway -- Two bodies where lying on the floor in pools of blood. One of them turned out to be his partner -- without an arm and as dead as stone in the cold of night. The sight was too horrible for words -- only to find himself decapitated by a huge pane of glass falling straight down. His body rolled down the stairs about floor stories -- half of his vital fluids gave the walls a new paint job.
   The history behind the horrors was never spoke of and been kept a secret for many years -- ever since the rape of one of the students. The teacher faced 7 years in a state prison -- on charges of fucking a minor. No one really known what happen to him -- some say he disappeared and joined a cult or he practiced Black Magic and became thing that terrized Glenbard East.
   These are one of the many horrors that students spoke about behind the teacher's backs. A horror one can describe as the Glenbard Horror. Many things are spoken but they should be left unsaid -- the words that are forgotten in faceless shadows.
