He came around, blood dripping from a halo of dyed black hair, and the first thing his mother asked was if he had seen God.

“Did you see him boy? Did you see our Holy Father? I bet he gave you a talking to!” she yelled over the sound of the siren.

The ambulance hit a bump on the road, almost concealing the slight shake of his head that she didn’t notice. He tried to sit up but I gently pushed him down and told him to relax, while I redressed the bandages around his head. I watched his gaze travel to the landscape beyond the window glass that flashed between black and scorching red. His eyes seemed empty, hollow, like a dead man’s. He should be dead – that’s what a bullet to the head does, right?

“You’re a fool, you deserve to go to hell for this,” his mother said. Her nervous eyes glanced back and forth and a silver cross hung from a chain around her neck. She began ruffling through the pages of the bible that she had wasted precious to run and get before letting the ambulance leave. Stray verses and words were mumbled to no one in particular.

He didn’t look at her, or at me, or at the barely noticeable bloodstains in his black tee shirt. He just kept looking outside.

“So what did God say to you? Did he give you a glimpse of Hell? Suicide is a holy sin, you know that,” the woman continued unceasingly.

“Ma’am…” I said softly, but she ignored me.

“You’ll end up in a gutter somewhere with no one but God one day, and you better hope he sees a prodigal son in you,” she said.

His lips moved but no sound came out. He kept his eyes averted, straight out of that window. He tried again, and this time I held up a hand to quiet his mother, who finally took the hint that he had something to say. The first noise was a rough cough, but then words came, barely audible over the wail of the siren.

“There is no God… no God,” he said.

His mother, for the first time that night, appeared speechless, but only for a moment.

“Of course there is, don’t be stupid.”

“No.” He was more forceful the second time. “First there was pain, then darkness, but there was no God, no heavenly lights or flaming depths. There was only Death.”

That time she was struck dumb for real. He took advantage and kept going, his voice getting stronger with each word.

“I looked into the face of Death and saw him for who he is. There were no skulls or sickles, just… his eyes, they…” The boy broke off, unable to describe his vision, although his own eyes showed it all, even as they gazed beyond what the rest of us could see. Neither his mother nor I spoke until he went on.

“He asked me the same question he asks every person who comes to him; why did I deserve a second chance? What made me so special? I told him I wanted to die, that I did this on purpose. He looked at me with those eyes and told me I had to learn to live before I could die, and he sent me back.”

Silence filled the ambulance, and it took me several minutes to realize I had duties to perform, and quickly began running checks and applying fresh bandages. As I checked his blood pressure, he looked at me, and I saw that something had filled in those empty eyes. I knew it and he knew it; he was going to be okay.

Building

[The previous Harrison High School in 1941] The current building of the Harrison High School was built in 1973 and 1974, and opened for September 1974. The building was built as a solution to the lack in size of the Harrison Junior Senior High School, serving grades 6 to 12, established in 1957 in the building built to be the Harrison High School in 1939. The building is currently used as the middle school. Harrison High School demonstrates a circular design, like a rotunda, with a hallway spanning one quarter of a circle, and a hallway that is a full circle radially centered inside the primary hallway, connected by two other hallways, the Main Hallway, and the Senior Hallway. The building is two stories tall and has two gyms, a cafeteria, a theater, and 213 classrooms.

The building is home to the Harrison Performing Arts Center, renovated in 2007, by a $1,250,000 grant received from the New York State Education Department in collaboration with the Harrison Educational Foundation (HEF). The Harrison Performing Arts Center (HPAC) features 825 seats, two balconies, a separate Light Booth, an extra high stage bow as well as state-of-the-art lighting systems by Electronic Theatre Controls and audio systems by Allen and Heath. The nicest high school performing arts facility in New York State, the HPAC, is entirely managed by students. The Harrison Technical Crew has been recognized by the Helen Hays Youth Theatre Foundation for Outstanding Achievement in Musicals and Drama. The HPAC and Sirius Black Box Theatre are under the supervision of the Director of Fine and Performing Arts, Ms. Mary Ellis.

The building was originally home to a then-state-of-the-art planetarium complete with 25 ft. diameter dome, and a projector that could recede into a tunnel when not used, as well as built in theater-style seating and offset lighting. Unfortunately, due to the building lacking space, when a dance studio was needed for the school to be able to apply for the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, the planetarium was the space that was decided to be renovated. It is now a dance studio/planetarium, with a movable star projector, mirrors mounted on the walls, a wooden floor and folding seating. In addition to being a dance studio, it is also a black-box theater, named the Sirius Black Box Theater, the word 'Sirius' pertaining to the star, Sirius, because it is a planetarium.

I tried. It's my first one, so cut me some slack. Constructive criticism would be wonderful.

   Soft, white flakes float gently from the sky, blanketing the only world Lori knew. She sits, swaying slowly on the only swing in the park. Millions of thoughts running through her head, but the most important is her walk back home. The temperature was steadily dropping, as it usually does on November evenings, and Lori had only her favorite wind breaker on to protect her.
     She never gets to see him, but he always manages to pick out the perfect gift. It crossed her mind a few times that this year, he'd finally forget about her, about her sixteenth birthday. Everyday for two weeks she would wait in a lawn chair on her porch, stopping the UPS truck whenever it would pass by, asking anxiously about her package. Another day would pass, and a sliver of hope would seep from her, until finally, she stopped waiting. Her birthday wasn't glamorous in the least bit; having only a bowl of cereal for breakfast while flipping through the few channels they got on the only tv in the house.
"Hmph, another birthday, huh? Well don't be expectin' nothin' from Jim and me. We gots bills to pay to keep a roof over our heads you ungrateful twat.(brat) And I been seein' you waitin' by the door these past weeks, figure ya old man finally forgot about you, huh? Too busy tendin' to that new family of his. He don't want you and he ne'er did, betta' you accept that now." Susan, Lori's mother, always had a way with words.
"You don't know! Maybe it could just be late, ever think of that you simple minded Pillop?!" (Pill popper)
"Girl you better shut up, talking to yer mother like that 'fore I tear you a new one. Gone and get out my face 'fore I get angry..and you know you don't like me when I'm angry!"
Lori never liked her moms boyfriend Jim since day one. There was always something off about him to her.

[Portrait of Reinhart 1812, by José de Madrazo y Agudo]

JOHANN CHRISTIAN REINHART (24 January 1761 – 9 June 1847) was a German painter and engraver. He was one of the founders, along with Joseph Anton Koch, of German romantic classical landscape painting.

Biography

[ Wasserfälle bei Tivoli (1813)] Reinhart was born in Hof, Bavaria, and attended the gymnasium in Hof where he was encouraged to draw by one of his teachers. His artistic career was divided between his early years in Germany and a career as a professional artist in Italy.

Early years in Germany

Following in his father's footsteps, Johann Christian started to study theology but turned more and more to art. He studied under Adam Friedrich Oeser in Leipzig. In 1783 he moved to Dresden where he furthered his studies under Johann Christian Klengel who taught him chiefly after the Dutch masters. On the death of his mother in 1784, he spent a short time in Hof before returning to Dresden. He struck up a friendship with Friedrich Schiller in 1785.

Professional artist in Italy

[_Blick auf Tivoli_ (1813)] In 1789, supported by the hereditary Prince of Coburg-Gotha, he got a grant from the Margrave of Ansbach-Bayreuth, and, aged 28, he left Dresden and moved to Rome. The grant continued until 1791/92 when the Margravate of Ansbach-Bayreuth became part of Prussia. Reinhart came under the influence of the classicist German painters Asmus Jacob Carstens and Koch and became a conspicuous exponent of the historic landscape. He devoted himself more particularly to landscape painting and to aquatint engraving. His paintings, drawings and etchings, of which he made many prints, brought him artistic recognition and financial success and he was eventually able to support a family. In 1801, he married an Italian Anna Caffo and together they had three children.

In 1829 he was asked by the future King Ludwig I of Bavaria to paint the view of Rome to the north, the south, the east and the west of the royal villa, high up on the Pincio. The paintings that resulted measure roughly 67 by 106 inches apiece and show a remarkable steadiness of hand and eye. These works are now housed in the Neue Pinakothek.

Assessment

Reinhart's originality lay not so much in radical inventions but rather in new combinations of known styles, themes, and patterns. By skillfully merging these with a noble theme, Reinhart revitalised the heroic landscape.[1]

He developed a new, more sensitive approach to landscape. Even though this emotional tendency contains element of the early romantic, Reinhart's way of painting is still immersed in the classical and is meticulous and detailed.

Works

His best known work is represented by the “Eight Historic Landscapes” (1825), in the Palazzo Massimi, Rome, and "Four Views from Villa Malta,” in tempera, painted for King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The New Pinakothek in Munich contains “Four Views Near Rome” (two dated 1836, 1846), the Leipzig Museum a “Wood on Seashore in a Storm” (1824) and “Landscape with Psyche” (1829), the Städel Institute, Frankfurt, a landscape with "Cain and Abel,” and the Cologne Museum a “View from Tivoli.” To a collection of 72 etchings of prospects in Italy, published conjointly with Dies and Mechan under the title _Malerisch radirte Prospecte aus Italien_ (1792–98) Reinhart contributed 24 plates. Besides these he etched many other Italian landscapes, and 38 animal studies, in all 170 plates.

title: Johann Christian Reinhart

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why would the future King Ludwing I commission Reinhart to make paintings depicting the views of the Royal Villa in all cardinal directions?

answer: Presumably because he wanted to immortalize the villa's beauty in painting.

answer: King Ludwig may have commissioned Reinhart to create paintings of the views from the Villa in order to document the beauty and grandeur of the surrounding landscape

answer: Since the commission was asked before Ludwig became King, the paintings could be used to show how much the kingdom will change by serving as the "before" image.

answer: One possible reason is because Ludwig might have wondered what the villa would look like from different points of view.

answer: The future King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned Reinhart to make paintings of the views of the Royal Villa in all cardinal directions because of Reinhart's status as a successful landscape painter. The paintings would help to visually showcase the Royal Villa and its views.

This month, our inky journey continues to Poland, which happens to be the home of Konrad Zurawski, maker and namesake of KWZ INKS.

Konrad has a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Warsaw University of Technology and has been manufacturing his own inks since 2012. The interest started out innocent enough. As a fountain pen enthusiast, he wanted to increase the saturation in one of his inks. After doing some research into making his own home-made iron gall ink, he started a hobby that would lead to building a world renown brand of fountain pen inks.

[inkjournal ink flight reveal swabs and swatches water test]

KWZ is primarily known for a large selection of iron gall inks, as well as a unique set of colors that sometimes can share a distinct fragrance.

Iron gall inks are new to our Ink Flight, so we wanted to give our travelers a head's up on using iron gall safely in their fountain pen. For more information about iron gall inks, check out our pen safety page, which includes quoted information from Konrad's writing.

[KWZ ink samples swatches and writing samples]

Here is a run down of all the colors in this month's flight:

HONEY

Oh, how sweet it is. KWZ is best known for this golden brown ink with deliciously smoky shading. On a personal note, I was searching for this ink last year at the DC Pen show, but Vanness pens had run out of their 30+ bottle supply on Friday. Yes, it's _that_ popular! I'm super glad I've got a bunch of it, now!

AZURE #3

This super wet, saturated electric blue has a mysterious dark purple sheen. It flows like the lapping waves of the deep blue sea. KWZ sometimes numbers their inks to indicate a slightly different formulation of the same color. This #3 is a winner in my (note) book.

OLD GOLD

This golden yellow is lightly saturated but packs plenty of dramatic shading. It reminded me of last month's Robert Oster Caffe Crema, which was a favorite of mine as well.

MENTHOL GREEN

This is a refreshing and vibrant spearmint green with a hint of blue. It has a clean scent to it that matches appropriately with its color.

BROWN PINK

Another fan favorite of KWZ, this ink is a warm, dusty, dark pink that has smoky shading. This is one of those unique hues that you can only find from this manufacturer.

IRON GALL GUMMIBERRY

This rich, saturated purple is a lovely eggplant color that dries darker after sitting on the page for some time.

BONUS COLOR - IRON GALL TURQUOISE

This "turquoise" is closer to a teal blue that dries darker and carries a noticeable degree of shading.

Here are my personal favorites:

Honey, Brown Pink, Azure #3

And the not-so-favorites:

Iron Gall Turquoise, Menthol Green

[kwz ink sample swatches with Clairefontaine my essentials journal in tan brown cover]

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What is an iron gall ink?

answer: The article doesn't include information about what iron gall ink is, but gives a link to read more about it on their "pen safety" page.

answer: An iron gall ink is a type of ink that is especially formulated for permanence. These inks have a higher level of iron oxide than most inks, and are soluble in water. Iron gall inks must be handled safely to prevent corrosion to fountain pens. They also usually have a smoky shading and a distinct scent.

text: The article does not explain what an iron gall ink is.

refinement: The article does not explain what an iron gall ink is.

answer: Iron gall inks are composed of iron and tannic acids, usually from natural sources like oak galls and oak bark. The interaction between the iron and tannic acid produces a strong substance that is good for resisting fading, providing water and alcohol resistance, and allowing deep, dark shading. Using iron gall inks safely requires proper care and cleaning of your fountain pen.

text:
He slides around the corner, presses his back tightly against the wall, and they rush past him without noticing.  Resting hands on knees, panting and sweaty, he takes a moment to catch his breath. They are after him. He has been running through this building for hours.

Finding him has become a competition. We all want to be the one that traps the rabbit. He knows me from a time when I was on his side. I'm not sure if he will still trust me, but what's the worst that can happen?

I gesture towards my door offering sanctuary, mouthing, "Come on! They are right behind you!" He scurries over, and darts under my arm just as a team of officers turns the corner. I shut the door behind him, and brace myself as he tries to force it open.

"Hey, I found him! He's in here!"

He is trapped and knows it. His executioners walk in behind me. He sulks over to one of my desks. We shoot each other sideways glances as we take our positions. We nod silently saying, "Good game."

His case manager storms in followed by a suit. She immediately begins to deliver the lecture she has been waiting all day to give. I sit closest to him. He won't hit me... but her... none of us are too sure about her. The suit sits closest to the door, looking uncomfortable and annoyed.

He tries to explain why he ran, but she had hours of chasing to prepare this speech. There were no planned pauses for his input. He is fidgeting and looking around the room. He knows I won't hesitate to tackle him if he makes a play for the door. He and I have been down that road together at "the other place." He locks eyes with me and I see big tears welling up. I can hear him telepathically asking for help. I want to scream at her to,

 "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

but he must have been reading my mind too because he bolts up and yells it. The suit says in his best authoritative voice, "Kevin, stop."

I think to myself, "What's that bitch gonna do."

He and I lock eyes again and I ask, "So, are you taking any art classes this year?" He looks stunned. He wants another reason to yell but there isn't one. It dawns on him that I am throwing him an out and he grabs it with both hands.

"Not yet, but I want to."

In the background the lecture from Mr. & Mrs. Bitch continues, but we have entered into our own conversation bubble. In our bubble it is calm and quiet and the topic is art.

"You know there are a lot of great courses offered here."

We maintain intense eye contact because this reprieve is fragile.

"Is there a sculpture class? Remember when I made you...

POP!

I had heard it in the background too. The Bitch crossed the line. She is already at the phone and looking up the number for his mom.

He begins to shake. "You gonna call her so you can tell her more lies? Just like with that email you sent her." He is getting angry again and his eyes are darting around the room. He is starting to panic. "You know FUCK YOU BITCH! I've put up with fifteen years of abuse and you know that."

"I didn't lie in that email. It's not my fault if your mom didn't undesta..."

"It is your fault! I am back in that house now and I hate it. What happened over that email is YOUR FAULT."

She moves uncomfortably in her chair and looks away. She does feel the guilt. She changes her tone and softly says, "I am so sorry if you got in trouble because your mom didn't understand my email."

He senses her weakness and lobs into his verbal assault. He goes on about how she lies and how much she hates him.  He begins to make fun of her for the tears in her eyes when I turn my gaze back towards him.

"I know you don't like her, but do you know your brother hates ME?"  This phrase strikes him speechless. I have known him for years. I protected him from the bigger kids when we were at "the other place." He has cried in my arms more than once.

"It's true. I am the one that has to boss him around and he hates me for it. I was just trying to figure out what to do with him before we found out you were missing. He is worried sick about you right now."

He studies my face to for a tell. I hold his gaze and continue. "Did you hear her? What she said? She said she's sorry and that you're right. Do you think you can forgive her?"

His face twists with rage and tears stream down his cheeks. He looks at her and begins screaming again. I reach out and hold his hand.

"You know, all of the problems with your mom were there before her. You can't blame her for what your mom did."

And just like when he was small he sobs in my arms. On cue, his brother walks in. Kevin runs up and hugs him.

I would like to say he hugged Mrs. Bitch as well, but truth be told, as soon as she got him into the hall he took off running.
