The flashing lights and subsequent change in their color was dizzying Angus, the loud music, the smell of liquor mixed with sweat was overwhelming. The woman beside him scooted a bit closer, her huge front barely concealed by the tiny off shoulder blouse she wore is open for the world to see. Her leather mini skirt and knee length black boots was too much for him to handle. He felt hot and very uncomfortable.
He wanted to ask for a break, he wanted to run outside the club, breathe some fresh air and maybe go back to his home town. The city life is not for him, the woman beside him snaked her hand inside his shirt and teasingly lingered down to the belt of his black pants. Yup, city life is not for him. There were clubs back in the province, but the women working there are not as bold as the one's in the city. He flinched when he felt something snake its way inside his pants, was the woman beside him trying to fill him up in front of everyone, he thought in
The Mori household is currently booming with angry voices. It is located in the City of Arecia, four hundred eighty kilometers away from Hospisyo Estrella. It would take about nine to ten hours for Mori to reach his beloved hospital, but with Cassandra constantly watching over him, impossible would be an understatement.When he received the video Zackary made on his first interview with Gen, Mori feared the worst. He needed to get there fast. That morning, he reasoned with his wife again, but Cassandra was being unreasonable. Mori can feel the impending danger looming over Hospisyo Estrella and he needs to get there before it's too late. His reasons might be unreasonable, unproven and solely based on his own belief.Mori lit a cigar after Cassandra left his study. He always believed that the human mind is capable of limitless possibilities. Yet Genelyn Calderon's case toppled every fiber of sound reasoning.When he began his career, all he ever wanted was
Mori took another puff from his cigar, he gazed at the burning end, watching once in a while, how it flickered and gave a soft buzz. His hand flicked the spent ashes into the tray while savoring the pepper mint taste the smoke left in his tongue. The calm and tranquility it supplied him over the years has finally come for remission.Genelyn Calderón could have given him the last hurrah in his carrier, but everything must come to an end. It's a basic cycle of life. We exist, we live, and we die. A few months ago, he wanted to inform Esther of his theory and send Gen back home with her. There truly is nothing more he can do for her, but the thought left him as fast as it came. As much as he wanted to leave everything to fate, he still could not resign himself to let go. So he seeked out a suitable replacement of himself. He spoke with as many Psychologist as he could but none presented an opportunity were his crazy theory could be taken seriously.Who is he kiddin
The moon is full, its borrowed light seeped inside the window, leaving long thin strips of illumination, shedding a strange and vague clarity inside the room. The curtains swayed once in a while, creating a blanket of shadow over the floor. The night is cold, but the couch in which he sat and the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed gave a strange warmth inside him. It is their second night, the second time she asked him to stay watch. To protect her from what she feared. He was never one to compromise, but why is he here then?He has always been selfish, but the day she begged for his help, the day she brushed her lips on his made him feel alive, wanted and needed. Not in a way all the other women needed him, she needed him as a pillar, a wall, a protector. He crumbled, he agreed without thinking. What she managed to bring forth from within him is something powerful. It feels like the time he spent with her during her days of unconsciousness, talking to her, humming to her h
Foolish... That was the word for what Zackary agreed upon. Gen has tormented him from her first request, he agreed with that because he was swayed by the moment. But the second request she made was done so casually, and yet, he barely had the mind to reject her.Foolish... That's what he has become. Zackary mounted the steps with Damien following behind him. Gen has requested to have their second session at night.Seriously, what was happening to him, it didn't even help that Bertha refused to give him accompany. She said her work hour ends at five pm and there was no way, she would sacrifice her time to be with, as she quote "someone impossibly crazy" Zackary had no choice but to ask Damien, although the big man's apprehensive demeanor was not missed, Zackary had to make do.When they arrived in front of her door, Damien suddenly grabbed onto Zackary's left arm."We shouldn't be here" he whispered softly, but Zackary was too confused, tired and angry at
The sun sprayed its rays above Hospisyo Estrella, sending waves of light upon the threshold, illuminating every nook and cranny, but its occupants remains in the dark. Whispers can be heard in every corner, fear and tention consumed every soul.Zackary gave his orders, but his words are met by deaf ears, judging eyes and worried tones. He has no explanation, no sound reason to offer. What transpired inside Genelyn Calderon's room cannot be considered natural. Yes, Hospisyo Estrella is in the middle of a forest and in a high altitude. But when morning broke and Damien, along with Delfin informed him that the phenomenon happened specifically in Gen's room, that's when panic engulfed the entire hospital.He tried his best to find an acceptable explanation, but realizing that there was none, his last resort was to call Mori. He sent the video of his second session with Gen asking the old doctor for help.The video cam, miraculously was safe, not a single scratch was
Zackary took a sip of his tea while intently eyeing the old woman in front of him. She is wearing a black dress that hung loosely on her body, she looks frail, her skin is sagging and the laugh lines on her mouth are deep, creating permanent marks that remains visible even when she purses her lips. Her head is covered with long stands of grey hair, tied back with a black rubber band. She looks so small that the couch easily swallowed her frame."I ask you again doctor, do you believe in the human soul?" her voice sounded louder as she spoke the words."I don't know" he finally answered."What I'm about to tell you is of utmost importance and I need you to listen, I'm not asking you to believe, but to listen" the old woman began.Zackary, still exhausted from all the happenings nodded his head. He decided it's best to sit and listen than argue and put more strain on his aching head.The old woman leaned back on the couch, with her old shaky voice, s
Ninety-five kilometres from Hospisyo Estrella.The club is ringing with wild sexy music, women in skimpy clothing walked and danced without a care in the world. Drunk middle aged women have their eyes pinned on the left side of the bar, amused by the three men dancing on the stage, who are wearing nothing more but a tight and uncomfortable looking leather brief. Their body covered with glitter and oil, dancing and enticing them to throw money on their feet.Angus felt like bile and vomit were threatening to come out of his mouth. The three women surrounding him are old enough to be his grandmothers. But that didn't seem to deter them from running their hands on his legs, arms, chest and anywhere they can lay a hand on. At some point, one of them raised her hand towards his manhood and stroked it a bit which sent him on his feet, shocked and near unconsciousness.The old woman just laughed and commented on how newbies are the best. That fresh meat was always wort
Patrick stumbled on the streets as he tried to keep up with his friends. He stood from behind the shadows as Ram and Angus found themselves in a confrontation. At first Patrick wanted to reveal himself and help them out, but he debated whether it was best to face the lone man by three or let his two friends stand by themselves while he take the element of surprise. Patrick decided on the later. He wasn't able to hear what they were arguing about but as soon as the stranger left, his friends followed suit. He ran after them not wanting to lose sight of where they are headed.He was close enough to hear what the three of them are talking about. Suddenly Ram walked past the stranger and hit a full stop in front of him. Patrick heard his friend ask who the stranger was talking about. The stranger answered Mike Esguerra. When the name reached Patrick's ears he stiffened and took huge gulps of air. He felt his heart beat accelerate at a speed enough to drain his strength.Pa
