Everything in this room is edible. Even Im edible. But, that would be called canibalism. It is looked down upon in most societies.

Voodoo GirlHer skin is white cloth,and shes all sewn apartand she has many colored pinssticking out of her heart.She has many different zombieswho are deeply in her trance.She even has a zombiewho was originally from France.But she knows she has a curse on her,a curse she cannot win.For if someone getstoo close to her,the pins stick farther in.

The Girl With Many EyesOne day in the parkI had quite a surprise.I met a girlwho had many eyes.She was really quite pretty(and also quite shocking!)and I noticed she had a mouth,so we ended up talking.We talked about flowers,and her poetry classes,and the problems shed haveif she ever wore glasses.Its great to know a girlwho has so many eyes,but you really get wetwhen she breaks down and cries.

Staring GirlI once knew a girlwho would just stand there and stare.At anyone or anything,she seemed not to careShed stare at the ground,Shed stare at the sky.Shed stare at you for hours,and youd never know why.But after winning the local staring contest,she finally gave her eyesa well-deserved rest.

Robot BoyMr. an Mrs. Smith had a wonderful life.They were a normal, happy husband and wife.One day they got news that made Mr. Smith glad.Mrs. Smith would would be a momwhich would make him the dad!But something was wrong with their bundle of joy.It wasnt human at all,it was a robot boy!He wasnt warm and cuddlyand he didnt have skin.Instead there was a cold, thin layer of tin.There were wires and tubes sticking out of his head.He just lay there and stared,not living or dead.The only time he seemed alive at allwas with a long extension cordplugged into the wall.Mr. Smith yelled at the doctor,What have you done to my boy?Hes not flesh and blood,hes aluminum alloy!The doctor said gently,What Im going to saywill sound pretty wild.But youre not the father of this strange looking child.You see, there still is some questionabout the childs gender,but we think that its fatheris a microwave blender.The Smiths lives were now filledwith misery and strife.Mrs. Smith hated her husband,and he hated his wife.He never forgave her unholy alliance:a sexual encounterwith a kitchen appliance.And Robot Boygrew to be a young man.Though he was often mistakenfor a garbage can.

Stain BoyOf all the super heroes,the strangest one by far,doesnt have a special power,or drive a fancy car.next to Superman and batman, I guess he must seem tame.But to me he is quite special,and Stain Boy is his name.He cant fly around tall buildings,or outrun a speeding train,the only talent he seems to haveis to leave a nasty stain.Sometimes I know it bothers him,that he cant run or swim or fly,and because of this one ability,his dry cleaning bill is sky-high.

One persons craziness is another persons reality.

If youve ever had that feeling of loneliness, of being an outsider, it never quite leaves you. You can be happy or successful or whatever, but that thing still stays with you.

Certain things leave you in your life and certain things stay with you. And thats why were all interested in movies- those ones that make you feel, you still think about. Because it gave you such an emotional response, its actually part of your emotional make-up, in a way.

Most people say about graveyards: Oh, its just a bunch of dead people. Its creepy. But for me, theres an energy to it that it not creepy, or dark. It has a positive sense to it.

One persons crazyness is another persons reality

Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone elses dreams?
