The last thing I imagined happening on a Friday night was losing my life. On February 13th, the word friendship lost value to me as I witnessed the horror of reality. Accompanied with me was my younger brother, Jesse. Together we planned on having a fun Friday night by going to the mall with my friends. As a last minute addition we decided to carpool. Carpooling is what we did being young we had no license or cars. Except two people: Kevin and Medina. Between the two the decision was simple:…

and nonhuman and those who exist in a transitory state. While doing so, they differ in the way they interact with nonhumans. The horror genre faces normal vs. abnormal while Sci-Fi confronts normal vs. alien/machine. Examples of each would be Friday the 13th the campers vs. Jason, and Terminator Sarah vs. the Terminator.
