A sing-song voice could be heard in the dead of night. Slow footsteps kissed the asphalt road of the heavily silent streets of Yaki. Only the two blinking street lights gave hope amidst the blinding darkness and only the human carrying the said tune gave life to the emptiness. Humans living in the area were already slumbering on their beds as time pointed its hand at 2 am, already past midnight.
Tap. Tap. Tap. The sound of clicking added to the serene band. A man could be seen hovering his hands over his phone. He stopped singing. Fast tappings could be heard, then he stopped as he pressed a red button.
"You're dialing Idol Saint..."
"The number you have dialed is unattended. Please try again later. "
"C'mon, Saint! Answer the damn phone! I changed my mind, I still don't want to go home. I need someone to talk to. " He dialed the number again only to receive the same reply. He tsk

ALL he could do was to shake in fear. He wanted to meow and cry but he couldn't. He should remain silent, praying that the darkness in the alley could conceal him from them; the darkness would somehow make him forget that beside him were two bloodied cadavers. He also hoped that they would not notice him as they did to the kittens weeping inside a plastic bag. Why did he choose to hide here from the dog? This is too much. 'Someone, save me. ' The air smelled rusty, from all the blood that had spilled. Shards of debris and garbage scattered to the ground from the broken wall and garbage chute. The clang of two metals colliding continuously, creating tension. Each blow promised a threat of death to each other as they swung a huge sword made of platinum; sweating and grunting heavily due to the weapon's weight and force needed to exert for defense and offense. It's dark and no
RED neon lights blinked repeatedly as loud music and cheers accompanied by people dancing to the beat of the music like a wild animal in heat. The place stinks of liquor, smoke, sweat, perfume, and ladies cosmetics mixed to create a smell familiar to those night owls enjoying the fun at night. In a table, far from the dance floor sat a man drinking his fourth shot of mojito, face focused as his hands scribbled on his notes. He didn't wish to be here again, but after the commemoration, they invited him to an 'after party night' and he couldn't say no because his aunt is there. He's waiting for she'll get drunk then leave her alone. It's his fifth time writing the same concept again but every time he tries to create the narration, he feels dissatisfied. Maybe it's because he's not in the right mind? Or the plot seems too personal?
A ting sound could be heard from the small white microwave oven placed on a tiled kitchen counter. A veiny hand of a man wearing colored blue mittens with a blue cat print could be seen turning off the microwave. His lips curved as he opened the microwave and got what he cooked. Anthony's smile gets wider as his nose registers the aroma of his creation: Baked macaroni. The more he smells, the more he can feel his mouth water and stomach grumble in hunger.He slowly places his mac on the counter as he ties his hair using the band his hand once wore into a 'messy' man bun, he's too lazy to comb it and he's too lazy to visit a barber to have his hair cut. He then blew the remaining hair strands that covered his face. He smiled afterward when he felt satisfied."Now I can eat and watch my favorite show! " He excitedly uttered to himself as he grabbed his baked mac and proceeded to exit the kitchen.'There's
Unbeknownst to him, Aegir is also staring at him, reminiscing the same memory he'd been thinking.Aegir whimpered. The cold water from the rain seems to be seeping through his skin.He could feel the terrorizing shivers that chills him to the bone. In his secured arms are two kittens: Tibby and Tabby, who unlike him, are noisy and crying.He doesn't even know if he's crying because of the coldness that makes him feel numb. The same coldness he always feels whenever he lies in the cold cement of his alley—the freezing feeling of sadness.'Maybe it's better this way—it's always this way. ' he thought as he blinked his tired eyes at the surroundings.<
A MAN is currently drawn in deep concentration as he moves the joystick of a claw machine. His white polo shirt sleeves were tucked revealing his bare hands decorated by visible veins, his brow crumpled as his sweat bathed him—but he didn't care...he's trying to analyze where he would put the claw so that he'll get the prize he wanted. Left. Right. North. South—he's contemplating, eyes blazing as if he'll kill the machine any minute.He set his target into a colored pink cat plushie. The plushie holds an angry expression but is still very cute. "C'mon! " He pressed the red button, releasing the claw. It slowly descended on his target then it picked his target, ascending.He could feel his hands getting wet as he anticipated winning the prize. His brows furrowed, lips biting in excitement. He shouted a fiery, "
THEY'RE inside an antique looking vibe building. All of their belongings (like Anthony's stuffed toys) are placed in a nice locker. The building's interior is colored gold and brown with classic flower patterns carved into its pole and walls. There's also hanging photos in the same motif frame of strange eerie symbols of violet stars, creepy looking animals, and flowers depicted like some sort of monsters with big gnashing mouths and large bulging eyes. A large mirror placed at the side of one of the frames gave it a more distinct creep when someone suddenly decided to look at his reflection after viewing the pictures. In the center lies a red sofa and a glass center table. The sofa is so red that one might think it's made from blood. Apart from its color is the weird placement. Why in the middle? Is it to give a better access to the 'piece of arts'? But one thing is certain, it gave chills to both Anthony and Saint that they
The old lady began to knock on her deck of cards several times like there's someone in there. She then shuffled the cards thoroughly, then she put her cards in three piles then put it back again like she's playing some sort of a card came—Anthony wished that instead of a fake destiny card whatsoever they should have played poker instead. She spread the cards on the glass table and her raven colored eyes fixed their way to the two gentlemen sitting on the sofa. "Now, children. Choose three. The cards will tell something about you. " Anthony flashed an unamused look and a pathetic look to Saint who immediately chose three cards. The old woman opened the card only to reveal an image of a crane above it is the numerals XIV, the crane had flowing tears and fire below it, there's also a word printed saying 'temperance' for the first card, the second card was a goat with weird star on its forehead and fire on its hooves, the numeral
THE sound of digging could be heard. Two pairs of hands rummaged over the rich soil like they're finding a treasure beneath it. The first guy, the one who digs carelessly and sputters bits of dirt all over—a man with ashen hair tied in a ponytail and matching cat ears atop keeps on singing a song full of, "nyanyanya" as the lyrics. Aegir's pink shirt drenched in sweat, white long appendage on his back sways back and forth as he sings."Hey, watch it! I already told you! Be gentle. Gardening isn't just a play thing! " The other guy scolded him. The guy swatted his hand, lips tight and serious.Aegir's eyes watered. His pink lips started to pout. "B-But! I'm already doing it right! I'll plant catnips here. " He raised both his index fingers and joined them together; green orbs twinkling, asking the other man's sympathy.The other man, on the other hand, remained serious, eyes sharp like gold spikes.
