October 27, 2007 (The Sun) -- A maniac branded "The Vampire" was jailed for a minimum of four years yesterday after fleeing a secure hospital and holding a gran hostage.

a whole city, producing more devastation in the four or five minutes it lasted, than would a half century of ordinary phenomena.

Pressed against shadowers wall that gave sanctuary
Pressed palms against the sides of shades
Bile rising yet stayed
Shoulder blades pressed
Cold darkness harassed

Sun rising
Blackbird has spoken
Rays prizing
At nights last breath

Neon blades of light
Reflected from a window into sight
Across the street blinded briefly
Confide, small world of light

Thunderbolts of pain through eyes
Caustic white
Sickness in the gut withering a snake
Cursing, turning on shaken legs seek flight

April 27 2007 (Yahoo! News) -- A 4-year-old boy broke his leg after he jumped out of a second-floor window while trying to imitate a character from his favorite movie Wednesday night. Gustavo Osario was alone in his bedroom at his home on Cedar Creek Place when he tried to fly out of the window. He said he got the idea from watching his favorite movie, "The Little Vampire."

Walking away,
the tattered remnants
of ribbons that bind,
fall to the ground.
A tear escapes
as I watch
the beauty we built together
crumble to dust.
Yet, beneath the sorrow,
a flame burns.
Growing brighter,
it becomes my wine
till I am drunk
with the freedom.
Looking back on the scars
I wore with pride,
a sense of contentment
swallows me whole.
No small regrets,
I will never kneel again.
