What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

The Architect


Nestled deep in the yawning abyss,
Waxy teardrops dribble from a lambent candle
Burning for stale celebrations of
Disremembered dreams.

Beside the flickering beacon rests a man,
The architect,
The all-seeing eye,
The arbiter of the universal mind.

The candle glows for one man’s dying memory.
Fables once cherished and chanted by the masses,
Now faintly echo in the empty expanse
For the architect to ponder in somber stillness.

Shadows steadily slink,
Slowly choking light.
The dim flame cries:
A flood is coming.

The man fishes for fleeting reflections,
In the shady burrow of the strange mind
Grasping for decaying delusions.
Deliberate demise disguised by promise.

In this hollow bunker of the unconscious,
The architect of his destiny, as the cycle commands,
Watches wistfully as night swallows the final spark,
Anxiously rising to start anew.
