    Cynthia

    Alas-kuwatro ng umaga, gigising na naman Pipiliting ibuka ang kanyang mga mata, Ngunit sumabay na lamang ang pagbuhos ng luha. Pinunasan. Bumangon na sa kama. May bahid ng pagkatulala at namamanhid ang mga paa, Dumiretso sa banyo upang maghilamos ng mukha. Sa salamin nakita niya ang kanyang ginawa, Tatlong araw…

    Kailan ko kaya maisusulat ang kasunod na eksena? Sa mga papel na nilimot na ng panahon, mababalikan ko pa kaya ang mga kuwentong sinimulan? Maraming tanong na gustong sagutin. Nais na makitang muli ang taong naglakas loob na suungin ang pagsubok na kaakibat ng pagsusulat. Naging matapang sa loob at…

    Sleepover

    Lights out. My mind goes wild I see dozens of creatures Staring, grinning, coming near. Whispers keep me company They don’t like it quiet. I struggle over the entire evening Tossing and turning With my blanket over my head While keeping my eyes wide open My bed seems so bare…
