152 ~ Archaic Curses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Huzzah, September! What better way to usher in the dying of the year than another song about chuckling vampires? OH, but they’re not chuckling this time! They’re going into battle!

148 ~ Kindergarten ISS (Romper Room Goes to Hell!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the School World, ISS stands for In-School Suspension—when you’ve done wrong enough to be shunned to the Behavior Room for a whole day—or three—where you must sit quietly and do your worksheets. Ever try it with kindergartners? A godless scene! Romper Room goes to hell!! Romper Room! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romper_Room#:~:text=At%20the%20end%20of%20each,me%2C%20tell%20me%2C%20do.
