Winter is coming… NYPO is warming!

The winter is coming… NYPO is getting warmer!
As the night close in quickly, the light comes from the moon and the street lights pave
the way back home from work, school or college. The weather is getting colder and
the time for snow is coming closer. All of this brings us indoors and the different
celebration going on in the last month of the year allows us to spend more time with
family and friends.
It has always been associated with December the month where Christmas comes
around where shopping and presents are on some people’s minds but there is more to
it…
In the coming weeks there will be a number of articles published in the Hyperzine
exploring the different cultures, traditions, events and memories they have of all the
different things going on in the month of December. Make sure you favourite the
Hyperzine in your browser.
A competition has also been set up to allow everyone to get into the winter spirit and
enjoy this time of the year! This is the first Winter Competition that has many
different ways of NYPO members to get involved in from simply participating in the
special Winter Competition Topic Threads on the NYPO forum to creating a poster
with a winter theme that can contain anything imaginative like a poem, story and
images etc. related to Winter.
There also a special Winter Competition Take 2! That will allow everyone to design a
winter themed logo for NYPO similar to way Google changes their logo for special
events.
Further information on the Competition can be found and entries should be submitted
to Winter Competition thread on the NYPO Forum. The winners will all have their
work displayed on a special section of the NYPO Facebook Fan Page that will be
available for everyone to see on Facebook as well as the Hyperzine.

Hiding in the Dark

By Girl with the Pink Bag On 31 October 20091 COMMENT

Hiding in the DarkHi. Call me “Girl with the Pink Bag” because that’s my undercover name. Anyway I’m writing this because each month I want to tell you and just only you about my life. You may be wondering if it’s going to be an ordinary life. But open your eyes as you will begin to read the most extraordinary chapter of my existence as I reveal all.

It all started on the Night of Halloween a few years ago. I was sitting on the sofa watching TV along with Dragon and my two brothers, Lanky and Greedy. It wasn’t long before we heard a loud knock on our door. Of course, it was the trick or treaters. We had a small bag of unwanted sweets near the door. I got up and opened it to a chant of “Trick or Treat?”

In front of me stood a girl and a boy, one wearing a wolf mask, and the other a witch’s. Because there was only a small amount of sweets, I dumped the whole lot into the boy’s bag. The girl in the witch costume stood there staring at me, as if she was waiting for something. I was confused. Oh, of course! She wanted some sweets too. I thought that they were going to share, but ah well, my bad. I shut the door in her expectant face and sat back down. Read the rest of this entry »

We took our first step as we opened the door

We tried to get up, then the window opened wide

WHOOSH! went the wind, bringing a chill to our spine
