Impostor
I. The return Unlike most of the boys mustered out and sent homeward, Enoch Thomson received no horse. The stable boy said they were all spoken for, which meant, Enoch supposed, one was expected to spend a year trudging from Vermont to Maryland, suffering in the shit, and trudging back again, but one oughtn’t bother about a horse at the end despite one’s troubles. He estimated walking from Brattleboro to Derobe Valley Village would take three days, accounting for sleep and meals. And he wasn’t the only one going home the long way (he hadn’t seen any of the other surviving black soldiers on horses) and more importantly, he was free. It was over.

Like Killer
Examining his brothers with a watchful silver gaze, his stomach let loose a startling grumble. He swayed lazily in his spot a moment, then rose up on his massive paws and stretched his rear up high. He lumbered slowly forward, holding his head high and keeping his gaze cold and steady. The rabble, that insatiable frenzy continued as he came to a stop, observing the scene again. They paid him no mind, until a low growl undulated in his throat—and then they were melting away, ears flattening, bloody jowls frowning irritably.

'The Harvest': A Review of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Season 1, Episode 2
We pick up this episode where "Welcome to the Hellmouth" left off, with Luke’s gaping jaws. But — oh no! — he’s burned by the cross that Angel gave Buffy, giving our heroine the chance to escape. This makes Angel’s rather redundant appearance in the previous episode a little more relevance, but he still doesn’t have a great deal to do in this two-parter.

The Hill Behind the Old School
Behind the school in Evansdale, there was a chain fence and a little hill. The children often wandered off to the fence, only to crawl underneath and investigate the hill. There was a reason the fence was placed, although the children were young and playful. The teachers yelled, and they came running back.

Haunted House and Astral Projection
I've long believed we live in a world, within a world. I believe there are things we cannot explain. I believe, as "silly" as this may sound, that there are angels and demons, but I also believe in spirits trapped here on Earth. Why? I'm glad you're curious. I believe this because I've seen or felt them at some point in my life.

'Teacher's Pet': A Review of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Season 1, Episode 4
We begin "Teacher's Pet" with Xander daydreaming. Pretty much most of what you need to know about the main theme of the episode is set up right from the start. Xander is striving for a traditional, patriarchal masculinity. He wants to save the damsel in distress—here, it's Buffy—and pull off an awesome guitar solo as well.

Where Is the Gasoline?
I push through the doors. They squeal, then die. Overhead the rafters groan, heaving sighs. The cows are asleep, the horses are asleep, the crows in the rafters are asleep. In the corner, there is a fat coil of rope. Taking it up in my arms, it is heavier than bricks. I cross the hay carpet. My feet are noiseless, but the animals sense me nonetheless. The cows murmur, the horses scratch the wood halfheartedly, the crows ruffle their wings, then settle again.
