Witches brew,

a cold, dark misty night,

screams haunts the neighborhoods,

black cats rule the fears of man,

and potions drunk changes a life.

Evil controls what you think you believe,

but that belief is taken to a darker side,

and the soul becomes blackened,

Forgotten.

__________

Turkey’s lives given up

to appease the masses

as families join together,

Celebrating a joyous moment,

never giving thought

a turkey did have a soul;

destroyed,

to feed the masses,

which, upon the next day,

forgetting the reason for celebration.

__________

The night sky, bespeckled,

children awaiting a jovial man in red,

parents exhausted, happy this moment,

this last second of hope for joy,

will end.

No more jostling in the crowds,

deciding last minute gifts,

the overall preparation of decorations,

a tree glistening when lights turned low,

awaiting for that sound—that invisible movement,

as a man in red is never seen, yet,

items are left behind,

only to be discarded months later.

Witches cackle their own “ho-ho-ho” as their brew has taken hold of humanity.

For years so it seems,the age-old question "Does size matter" actually comes into play this time around. And no, this has nothing to do with sex. Let us proceed.

Encompassing an estimated 1,218.37 acres (1,904 square miles), the Grand Canyon is capable of holding 1 – 2 quadrillion gallons of water. If you poured all the river water on Earth into the Grand Canyon, it would still only be about half full.

The smallest thing that we can see with a 'light' microscope is about 500 nanometers. A nanometer is one-billionth (that's 1,000,000,000th) of a meter. So the smallest thing that you can see with a light microscope is about 200 times smaller than the width of a hair. Bacteria are about 1000 nanometers in size.

The Michigan Micro Mote is currently the world’s smallest computer at just 2mm x 4mm and requires an average of just 500 pico watts in operation and just 35 pico watts in standby or about a millionth of the power of a mobile phone on standby.

For a computer to be classed truly as a computer it must have an input, a processor to handle the data from the input and then output the results somehow. The Michigan Micro Mote has a processor, a radio for wifi communications, a solar cell and battery for power, a photocell for communications and can have a variety of sensors like pressure, temperature, imaging etc making the Micro Mote a fully self-contained computer that can run on just the normal lighting in a room.

With the largest telescope ever, The Arecibo Observatory should look familiar even if you’re not an internationally renowned scientist. It’s appeared in a handful of fairly popular movies, most famously in Golden-Eye and Contact. In the real world, it’s located in Puerto Rico and is the largest radio telescope on Earth. In fact, it’s so big it was easier to turn an existing limestone sinkhole into a telescope than to build one completely from scratch. The telescope’s main function is to track planets and asteroids passing Earth, with the latter focusing on those that could potentially damage our planet, though it’s also been used as a broadcasting station. In 1974, scientists used the facility to translate and send pictures to M13, a cluster of stars 21,000 light years away.

Sequoia trees are the biggest living things on this planet (by volume). They can grow up to 275 feet tall and 26 feet in diameter.

Manmade, Three Gorges Dam, this dam spans the Yangtze River in China and was built at the cost of $37 billion (U.S.). Considered the biggest hydroelectric dam ever built, it displaced 1.3 million people. It even has the capacity to slow the very rotation of the earth by strategically shifting significant masses of water.

They had been married just over a year and they both had pretty much had been bobbing along in their lives without incident.

Along came a day where most wives look forward too, and that was giving her husband extremely good news.

"Bob, I have something really important to tell you."

Bob, who was practicing bobbing for apples in a tub of water for a Halloween contest coming up, dried off his face saying,"Bee, you sound serious, is everything okay? Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem, Bob, but you are about to be a daddy!

Well, needless to say, both were overjoyed at the prospect of a little girl or boy rounding out their lives and no longet just husband and wife but now, full-fledged parents. Mommy and Daddy.

"Bob, I've decided what the baby's names would be; either boy or girl."

"Sounds good to me Bee. What are they?"

"Bobbie if a girl, or Bobby, if a boy."

"Sounds good to me."

And that night, both Mr. and Mrs. Bobalouie slept with smiles on their faces and the happiest parentss in town.

This marks the fifth year of the Rainbow of Terror, where I create a number of writing challenges for a different portal, all centered around my favorite holiday Halloween.

I'm also hoping to do something a little different this year. My hopes is that we can come together and make an anthology book with our stories. Obviously these stories won't be published right away. We're basically writing rough drafts at this point. With some time and feedback from one another we can perfect our stories to publish into an anthology book. I'm hoping we can finish this project by Halloween next year.

You know the rules and so do I. I will choose the winners for each challenge. The winners will go on to help building our anthology. I will grade each entry based on the following:

1) How well the entry fits the prompt/description.

2) How well it ties into the theme of Halloween/horror.

3) Overall creativity and fun.

Keep in mind that not all challenges are not meant to be part of the anthology. Only the ones that state "write a short story" are for the anthology. The others are meant to be just good fun. To make it interesting I will not only choose one but two stories to help build the anthology. So please enter as many challenges and craft as many stories as you can.

If you have any questions, please message me. While these challenges end in about 3 weeks, you are still free to write and post your stories if you're interested in participating in creating an anthology book. You are also free to write it however you fill comfortable. Make it PG, PG-13, R? Go for it! Please tag me and many others to your work!

“When I get out, and I will, there’s gonna be carnage.”

-Cletus Kasady, Venom

Venom: Let There Be Carnage is the new Marvel/Sony sequel featuring everyone’s favorite brain-eating alien symbiote, starring Tom Hardy, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Williams, and Naomi Harris, and was this time directed by Andy Serkis.

Tom Hardy reprises his role as Eddie Brock and Venom as they go up against their greatest foe, the serial killer Cletus Kasady (played by Woody Harrelson), who has now bonded with a symbiote to become Carnage. That’s really all the info you need about this movie, honestly. It’s Venom versus Carnage. It’s Carnage finally on the big screen. I’ve been waiting for this moment since I was a kid. Aside from Venom and Doctor Octopus, Carnage is next favorite villain on the Spider-Man rogues totem pole.

While I enjoyed the first film as a fun-dumb superhero movie there were areas that could use some improvement in order to be a good superhero movie. Enter Let There Be Carnage!

First positive obviously goes to Tom Hardy for his portray as Eddie Brock and Venom. It does a great job portraying both of these characters that you forget that it’s all one guy. It makes you feel like there are actually two individuals onscreen talking and bickering. Their relationship in this movie certainly has taken in The Odd Couple direction, which works in its favor. The two characters had great chemistry and some funny lines that got me laughing a lot. Personally I still prefer Venom to be a villain but he’s winning me over as an anti-hero.

In my review of the first Venom I said that the villain in that movie was generic and forgettable as fuck. Not Cletus Kasady. Aside from Eddie and Venom, Cletus Kasady/Carnage, along with Woody Harrelson’s amazing portrayal, was a show stealer. He was great. He was everything from the comics. In the comics he was a sadistic serial killer who becomes a dangerous sociopathic alien menace, and all of that is brought to the big screen in beautiful red and black. The guy is murdering people and trashing cop cars. It’s all you can ask for from Carnage, except for one little thing that I will bring up when I talk about the negatives.

This whole film has been building up to the third act where Venom and Carnage finally duke it out and it was awesome. Like I said it’s something I’ve been waiting to see for a long time. Now if they can get Spider-Man involved it will be a dream come true.

Now for the major issue of this movie: it really should have been R-rated. Seriously, I know I’ve made a few complaints in past reviews of comic book movies having an unnecessary R-rating like Birds of Prey and a couple DC animated movies but the thing is I felt those stories really didn’t need to be R-rated. However some certain comic book characters should be R-rated like Deadpool and The Suicide Squad. This movie definitely should have had an R-rating. The reason being if you’re gonna have Carnage be in this movie you have to go all out on the violence. He’s way more violent and destructive in the comics. Take my word for it. There’s a story where Carnage decapitates someone on an airplane and tosses the head down the aisle like it was a bowling ball. Plus these two characters eat people’s brains. Imagine a Venom movie where you see either Venom or Carnage just chomp some poor sucker’s head off and we see it in such graphic detail. Without the R-rating we’re not exactly seeing these two at what they’re really capable of.

Overall I didn’t have much expectations going into this movie. I just wanted another fun-dumb comic book movie. However I got something more. It was a great improvement over the last film and Andy Serkis did a damn good job in the director’s chair. So did I enjoy Let There Be Carnage? Yes, we did!

Positives:

-Tom Hardy as Venom

-Woody Harrelson as Carnage

-Eddie/Venom dynamic

-Venom vs Carnage

Negatives:

-Should have been R-rated

Final Grade: B

So those are my thoughts on Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Have you seen it? What were your thoughts on it? Please be kind, leave a like and comment, and check out more reviews here on Prose!

Best Quote:

Eddie Brock: “She didn’t want our help.”

Venom: “She didn’t know that she wanted our help. There’s a difference.”

Moreover, some result-oriented tips are waiting for your keen reading. So do not forget to apply them in your write-ups for sustaining a prime position in your batch.

Typical structure for an academic perfect essay writing:

To start the real face of an essay, let's build some understanding and introduction first. Later we will elaborate on details for you.

An academic paper is usually written in the form of an argument. It summarizes the author's position on a given topic and then backs it up with evidence.

Overall academic essay structure:

The typical structure of a paper in terms of length, sections, and paragraphs is easier to understand when you break it down into parts.

An academic paper can be anywhere from 3 pages long to 20 pages long.

In most cases, the standard size for writing a college application essay is 5-7 pages.

The introduction will typically be at least one paragraph followed by the body paragraphs, which consist of 3-5 sentences per paragraph.

Importance of outline for an essay writer:

We suggest you take particular time out for putting devoted efforts into outline making because it is this outline that takes your flight in the right direction.

It protects you till you land or arrive at your final destination of recommendations and concluded result portion. 

Make sure to construct a road map on paper or notepad before taking the start.

The question you need to get prepared for are;

What are you going to add to the introduction?

What would be your thesis or main statement which represents the whole essay?

How will the title be covered by whole body passages?

What are the ways to check the credibility of sources and authors for referencing?

What is the requirement of my essay for data methodology? Whether it would be from literature review or examination of published papers? Do I need to construct figures and graphs or not?

Introductory Paragraphs:

Feel free to expand on your introduction paragraph to include comparisons between different essay structures, information about the importance of clarity, and so on.

Keep in mind that you should not keep repeating your introduction or thesis statement.

A well-written introduction leads the reader into the body of your college paper, which should be coherent and make sense while following a logical order.

You want to have a balanced body that includes structurally similar paragraphs with varied content.

Each body paragraph contains a separate topic sentence and then statements to refer the discussion to the main title of an essay or thesis sentence.

You must keep in mind that each paragraph backs up the whole essay. The gap which is left in connecting or linking paragraphs with each other leaves room for questions on credibility and lousy scoring.

A summarized conclusion:

The conclusion should summarize what you've written in your paper while also providing insight about where it leaves off for future research.

You have to answer your research questions. Do you provide a crux about how the research objectives happen to achieve in this college essay writing service?

People do not search for only reading about the topic and overall analysis. Sometimes they are in dire need of finding suitable solutions and recommendations to do a practical experiment.

Before starting this, you were reading different research papers, and somehow, they did provide you a stable base for your essay. In the same way, leave your essay or end your article so that people can give an example of your research.

Jogging or running is a popular form of physical activity. About one in five Australians try running (or jogging) at some stage in their life. Running is an appealing exercise because it doesn't cost a lot to take part and you can run at any time that suits you.

Some runners choose to participate in fun runs, athletics races or marathons. If you are interested in competing with other runners, contact your local running club.

Health benefits of running and jogging

Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can:

help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise

strengthen muscles

improve cardiovascular fitness

burn plenty of kilojoules

help maintain a healthy weight.

Running versus jogging

The difference between running and jogging is intensity. Running is faster, uses more kilojoules and demands more effort from the heart, lungs and muscles than jogging. Running requires a higher level of overall fitness than jogging.

Both running and jogging are forms of aerobic exercise. Aerobic means 'with oxygen' – the term 'aerobic exercise' means any physical activity that produces energy by combining oxygen with blood glucose or body fat.

Goal setting for running and jogging

Think about what you want to achieve from running or jogging. Issues to consider may include:

Getting fit – if you're a beginner, you should start with brisk walking, progress to jogging and work up to running. This should take a few months.

General fitness – mix your running with other forms of exercise (such as swimming or team sports) to maximise your overall fitness.

Weight loss – adjust your diet to include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, wholegrain cereals and low-fat dairy products. Cut back on dietary fats, takeaway foods, soft drinks and sugar.

Companionship – you could run with a friend or join a local running club.

Competition – running clubs may offer competitive events. Most clubs have sessions designed for beginners through to advanced runners. You can pit your running skills against others in fun runs or marathons. Many community-based running events cater for people of all ages and abilities. Join a local orienteering club to combine running with the challenge of navigating through various environments.
