Grit

The bell rung. The round girl walks flirtatiously while holding the big card with the number twelve on it. It was a good fight. We were almost on equal terms. Almost. I know I'm losing on both points and damaged received. This guy's defense is as tough as a turtle. I need to do something … Continue reading Grit →

Poison!

Bang! Bang! "Stop! You'll break the door!" I shouted on top of my lungs. The thin and fragile baby crying on my arms. "Hush hush, son. It's okay. Mommy will not give you to them," I told him with a soft and sweet voice. "Open the door, Maria!" shouted my husband. "No! You won't … Continue reading Poison! →

Gatekeeper: Squeegee

It's been a very boring day today. All I've been seeing are cancer, knife, gun, bullet, hemorrhage, embolus, and such. By now, I've devised of another way to entertain myself; I ask the soul to tell me the story of their death if the object somehow caught my interest. Well, that was until this big … Continue reading Gatekeeper: Squeegee →

Gatekeeper: Intro

My existence has existed ever since existence existed. That's how old I am. I don't really mind. What I hate is doing the same task over and over and over and over again. The thing is, my job is to judge souls whether they will enter heaven, purgatory, or hell. It may sound coming with … Continue reading Gatekeeper: Intro →

Charger

"Hey, bro! Do you have an iPhone charger somewhere?" asked Brad. "Why? You've just bought a new yesterday, right?" Kevin replied. "Yeah. I forgot my backpack in the car though." "You dumb ass. Go get it then." "Ugh, I don't wanna go downstairs. Come on, man. Just try googling or something for me." "Pshh, fine." … Continue reading Charger →

During that time, I went to stage with my head held high and my chest forward. I was proud to say … Continue reading Inspiration →

That’s what I do for a living

Two women wearing dresses made from cotton. A man passes by wearing a coat tailored by the best in town. A boy, wearing a green and blue pajamas, walks alongside a man wearing brown slacks and coat. That's him. I found him. I found today's target. In this line of work, you have to be … Continue reading That’s what I do for a living →

Departure

I love this girl. Her sweet smile, that little fringe on her hair that won't go away no matter how much she combs, that little mole on her cheek; I love them all. It's been a year now, huh. Time sure does fly fast. I thought while folding the sleeve of my black long-sleeves. She … Continue reading Departure →

Hunger

Grumbles. Tina's stomach has been grumbling for hours now. No surprise there, actually. Her last meal was 48 hours ago. Two more hours until her shift ends. Fortunately, today is payday. She can finally buy food for her and her five little devils waiting at home. Just a thought of that made a smile creep … Continue reading Hunger →
