"Come on, hurry, get the epinephrine!"
They injected the epinephrine into Tanashiri's body to make sure his heart is still beating.
But it is a matter of life and death for Tanashiri. Anytime, his body will tolerate all the medicines that the medical staff will pump inside his body, and eventually, it won't have any effect on him.
Nurses, nursing attendants, and doctors are running to and fro in the emergency room, carrying an array of medical supplies.
A rocky road of bliss and destruction, for Tanashiri's body.
Bliss-if he gives up on living and dies in this very moment, he won't feel any pain anymore; the pain of living with the person he hates the most. He truly despises his father for being an abusive one.
He also hates himself for being enough of an asshole. He does not want to continue living as he cannot help himself being a spoiled man and an asshole as he is.
"The epinephrine is not enou

Chapter 13 A familiar sound commonly heard in the movies echoed in the thick walls of the whole hospital room. "His oxygen levels are decreasing! His heart rate too! Push more medicine!" "Epinephrine! Adrenaline! What are you doing, people?" More panicky hospital staff flooded the room-some were carrying more syringes, gauze, and vast arrays of different life-saving medicines to save the patient but to no avail. The flat line stayed as it is, not showing any signs of improvement. Many minutes passed, and the hospital staff are still pushing medicine into Tanashiri's body. It seemed like a futile effort. They looked like they only wanted the father of Tanashiri, the old man Paciano. "We are not doing the standard operating procedure anymore. It would only be a waste. We should stop now. We should announce that he is already dead." The head doctor said to the staff inside t

Chapter 14 "Did you know that Hiraya is a former prostitute? She is a whore who lures married older men to get their money. She especially targets those filthy rich ones. Maybe she has a fetish on wrinkled skins of old men, or is obsessed with people like that." "I am quite busy and am stable with my finances. How can I use my body for money if I am drained every day by doing my job properly and has many insurances and investments in different companies? I can burn money all I want. I am young and energetic to work with zest." "Really? It does not show in her face. She has the face of an innocent woman like she is unable to do any wrongdoing. I thought she is too timid to do those kinds of things. The audacity of her, taking advantage of helpless lonely men who are begging for love and affection! How can she seduce rich old men if she has an unpretty face.? Every part of her average body is slightly askew. It is not like men will have their necks break when s

Chapter 15 "What a waste. You have it all, Sir. The looks, money, and fame, but you died at a very young age. Well, that is how life is. You will never know when your time is done. Rest well, Sir." The guy at the morgue who pushed Tanashiri's deathbed inside is a very courteous guy. He talks to every person that dies in the hospital he is in charge of, as if they are still alive. "For now, Sir, I will put you inside the freezer, I got to pee. I will leave you here for the meantime, to see if you will be that one in a million who will come back from the dead. But please, do not come back anymore. If that happens, maybe you will be a zombie. Toodles, see you tomorrow, or another day." The morgue guy wrapped Tanashiri's cold body in a blanket. "Asshole, you idiot, I am alive!" The young guy got out of the morgue to do his own thing. "Help! I am breathing! I am not dead! Get me out of here before I beat all your asses out!" Tanashi

Chapter 16 "It is too noisy here. What is happening?" At the start, Tanashiri hears all kinds of familiar noises. After remembering his father and his male savior's voices, he heard the noises of the hospital staff: shouting at each other to change the beddings to the best ones, whether it be the sheets and pillows, almost every after eight hours. They provide him with the best services because the private hospital is also known to be the corrupt officials' rest house: it admits the corrupt officials who pretend that they are sick to escape the public scrutiny. Almost all of them stay in the hospital for at most two years. "Wow, they are living up to their name." Tanashiri thought to himself. "Tanashiri has a monitor by his bedside that shows his heart's throbbing rate, breathing, blood pressure, intracranial pressure, and cerebral perfusion pressure. A bandage is wrapped around his head and this should be kept clean and dry at all times to avoi

Chapter 17 "Now I know, all people around me are lying to me. They are all poker-faced, wearing some well-made masks. The only one who is not lying to my face is my father, the one who has always beat me to death ever since I was a child. I hated him to the core, but after all these happenings, these tragedies, he is the only one who cared for me, sincerely, without ulterior motives." "I like knowing the fact that I really exist in the eyes of people around me as me, not just some scumbag son of a company owner. I feel less lonely. Living this shitty life is lonely itself, but them noticing me made me feel feelings I did not feel before. I would rather pick real insults than fake compliments." Tanashiri, the bad boy, is having an emotional and mental breakdown inside. He wanted to cry, loudly, to be heard by his father, as he regretted what he had done to his father, all his wrongdoings, but he cannot do it. He cannot wake up, hug him, and tell him that every
A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story Hiraya is back
Chapter 18 It is an early Monday morning, and there’s an aching sensation in my chest. Why is my life this way? It is been months and I dreaming of that man every time I fell asleep who looks like me. I should be scared, because he looks like me, but I am not. Seeing him makes me feel at ease, and makes me want to talk to him some more. But when I try speaking to him in my dreams, I just wake up, not blurting even a single word to him. It is frustrating. “Hiraya, wake up!" I know who is screaming my name. The one shouting loudly is my mother. Hearing my name is very disappointing, sometimes, even disheartening. It is not like any other common Filipino names. Having that name makes me an easy target for bullies in school. My mother is a Filipino language teacher. She adores the Filipino language very much. My name means product of a person’s faith, ideas, and goals. Sometimes I am thankful to her for naming me Hiraya, because I usually do

Chapter 19 Tanashiri's POV (Speaking in the Filipino language) "Something is wrong. Something is really wrong. I can feel it." He turned around and scrutinized everything before his eyes. The snow he wants to feel and see when he was a toddler, was here, in front of him. Whenever his father promised to take him and his mother abroad to see some snow, he is always screaming with glee. He always had these sparkling eyes when his father mentions snow, except when he grew up to be a young man. That is when he realized that his father is only fooling him, giving false promises. His mother's lips are smiling, but her eyes are empty. His mother's face is painted vividly in his mind now that he is old enough to remember things and read between the lines. It is like her mother's face is painted gray, even if her smile and voice are sincere. His mother endured it all, all the sadness, and pretended that she is loved dearly.

Chapter 20 "The winter came in too early this year, I noticed. It is not the start of December, and here it is, the snow is already here." Tanashiri is walking hastily, speaking and blabbering about anything, even nonsensical things. But his wardrobe is hindering him from walking faster. He is irritated with what he is wearing, it is burdensome in weight. He is almost near to stumbling. He is slowly becoming another. "Master Qiu, you are becoming bizarre today. You are speaking things out of the blue. You never were like that in the past, you are always calculating and careful about what you are to say, and you do not speak when it is not necessary. You hated unnecessary noise, and now, you are saying something about the weather? Maybe the medicine you took yesterday just kicked in, or you have another serious illness right now. This must be really something." His servant noticed. Li Jhie, Master Qiu's most trusted servant, and his childhood friend is

Tanashiri woke up with a throbbing headache, with my father and mother sleeping beside me. They are seated close to each other. They seemed to have reconciled. I am in the hospital again after fainting. I fainted after seeing that girl on the train. Tanashiri headed toward the bus stop, all by myself, and boarded the bus. Thankfully, the bus conductor helped him carry his things and put them in the designated area of the bus. He sat in the remaining empty seat on the bus. He cannot drive his car because he still cannot move normally his limbs after his deep coma. He left his mother and father, still dozing off near his hospital bed. They have a lot of talking to do, so I must leave them by themselves. I know they are exhausted from watching me all night, all year that I have been in a coma. I wonder how my Q-boy's doing. Tanashiri took some pills and fell asleep again. This time, he did not have any dreams. It is just a pitch-black type of sleep, but not a deep sleep though.

A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story Pure chaos in itself
The streets are in chaos. Everybody is shouting, the Japanese soldiers are searching every area, especially households and stores. Upon walking outside every area they searched, they are holding papers. Land titles. The vehicle is still full of people, disarray, when Jouri and Qiu looked at each other,unexpectedly. They seemed to read each other's minds. Qiu looked away, and searched for an opening. He saw that there is an empty seat at the back of the vehicle. A man had a heart attack minutes ago, and he was pushed out of the bus by one of the passengers. Qiu suddenly kicked his way out of the first row, and caught hold of Jouri's hand. 跳! Qiu and Jouri jumped from the vehicle. They tripped themselves all the way across the street. They are now safe. It is kinda silent in that area. Or they thought it was. They are now sitting on a cold brick, hiding themselves from the chaos. They are both breathing heavily, but Jouri's breathing is more frantic. And audible. Qiu put hi

I am not adopted. I am a real member of the family, my family that was left behind on Poland soil. All her life, Jouri thought she is just adopted because she does not look Jewish. Because of it, the neighborhood, and her schoolmates, mocked her, and her appearance. "Your grandmother is Chinese, and she tried her luck in Poland. There, she met your grandfather, who is a Jewish businessman. You look like Chinese, unlike your siblings, because your grandmother's genes are more dominant in you," the frail-looking rabbi told her. She ran out of the restaurant as fast as she could, far, far away into the alleys of the streets of Shanghai to hide her mixed feelings. She does not know if she feels happiness, sadness, or both, knowing that she is not somebody her parents saved from an unknown orphanage. Jouri is enjoying her reverie when she heard three deep, loud sounds that echoed in her ears. Joyous conversations began to fill the place. People are starting to crowd in her place, and
