Chapter 1

My eyes became distant as I stared outside for a moment. The rain kept on pouring and fogged up the window glass. It showed no sign of stopping, which made the air chilly. The rainwater flooded the minor road, so when the black car passed by, the water just splashed out to the bald man walking on the sidewalk. He had no umbrella and was only using his thick coat to face the rain. He lost the chance to dodge. The rainwater soaked his whole clothes, stunning him where he stood. Before the car disappeared from his sight as it drove away, he cursed at it, raising his middle finger. It wasn’t him who caught my attention, but the man standing a few feet away from him holding a red umbrella. The other man gave this eerie feeling, even from a far that I could sense strongly. There was something with the man as he stayed there on the sidewalk. The clanking of utensils and chattering inside the cafe where I was didn’t help to get rid of it. It was a year ago when I first noticed him. I though...

Chapter 2
Fortunately, nothing was wrong with Maggie, but she wasn’t waking up. The doctor said she just passed out because of shock and would wake up after hours without no problem. They put her in a room where there were other patients. I wanted to go to my part-time job, but I couldn’t leave her alone. I just sat down on a chair looking at my phone while waiting for his boyfriend to arrive. It’s been an hour, but he had not come yet. After a while, I glanced at the door when the police officer entered wearing a black jacket. His partner, who wore a floral shirt, followed behind. He asked the woman near the door about something and she pointed her finger at where I was. I quickly understood they were there because of what happened in the coffee shop. The police officer bowed his head to the woman and walked toward me. He was in his thirties while his partner was in his twenties. Their heavy footsteps echoed as they walked. I put back my phone on my pocket as they approached me. Their eyes n

Chapter 3
As the night deepened, lights died below. The city was like a forest made of grand buildings. The bright lights that remained mirrored the stars from the clear night sky while the moon shone brightly in its glory. I could see everything from the rooftop where I was. It was indeed a beautiful view, but at that moment I wasn’t feeling happy. No matter how hard I tried to admire the scenery that I could only see at such times, I still couldn’t smile. I exhausted my body from working and I just wanted to go home to the comfort of my soft bed. Behind me was the crowd enjoying the birthday party. The murmurs sounded like they would not end. They didn’t reach my ears because the echoing melodious sound of the violin overshadowed them. As I remained standing, a wind blew from my left, whistling through the newly budding flowers lining that side of the rooftop. By midnight, that wind would breathe cold as the north pole, carrying with it the stench of the party. I shivered a little from the c

Chapter 4
“What’s your name?” I asked him as I laid down on my bed. My body was weak, and I was too tired to move. I no longer had the strength to send him away, so I just let him stay in my room. Now that I had longer conversations with him, I found him trustworthy. Because if he wasn’t there was no reason for him to save me. I just didn’t like that one thing he had said to me. I didn’t hate relationships between the same sex. I just couldn’t imagine myself being in one. He sat down on the chair and looked at me with his eyes glistening in the light coming from the lamp on the table. “I don’t want to tell you,” he said without emotion. His tone didn’t rise or even go down. I stared at him because of what he said. I felt like he’s playing with me that time. “Don’t worry, I would not tell a soul about your name if your worried everyone would know who you are,” I assured him so that he would tell me. “It’s not that I am worried. I just want you to remember it as well.” His expression on his

Chapter 5
I was supposed to listen to the professor after a school break, but I heard nothing he had discussed. The classes ended, and I understand nothing. My mind kept on wondering somewhere. I shouldn’t be thinking about Gavin because we only talked yesterday until that morning. I felt guilty about what I said to him before I went to school. I was thinking I hurt him for real that time. Because I knew what he felt for me was genuine. I could see it in his eyes every time he spoke to me with full of admiration. I groaned in frustration and stomped my head on the table. Some students who were going out turned around in surprise to where I was sitting beside the window. Thinking I was just acting baffling, they went on without sparing me a glance anymore. I didn’t need to be distracted while studying or else it would ruin my plan of finishing a degree before going faraway. It was also my fault. I shouldn’t have responded to him when he entered the coffee shop. Ignoring him was the best choice,

Chapter 6
As soon as I walked into the faculty room, a heavy silence filled the air, while everyone stay seated. While I was there, I didn’t let that eerie feeling distract me. I went directly to the humanities professor’s table, where the teaching assistant was busy typing on his seat. This man who always wore a striped polo shirt didn’t like people talking to him. So, it wasn’t a surprise he ignored me when I stood in front of him. He still fixed his eyes on the laptop without sparing me a glance. I didn’t know why he was acting like that and I wasn’t planning to know. “Here’s our report. I am hoping you can send them to the professor,” I said to him as put down the two flash drives on the table next to his laptop. He didn’t say a word that made me took a deep breath. I was not worried he would not listen to what I said. Luckily, the professor knew what kind of person his teaching assistant was. If he did not pass the reports, the professor would scold him that would end up putting him in a

Chapter 7
We went to a not secluded neighborhood where the store of the man Tristan wanted to interview was located. The entire area became like artsy grounds for talented people. Artists filled the empty walls along the streets with graffiti, attracting newcomers like us. It was not my first time there, so I just ignored the walls. I had a part-time job there before. Gavin wasn’t also looking and his attention was all on me, making me uncomfortable. He was confident about walking under the sun. Meanwhile, Tristan couldn’t help himself. He had took out his phone and took a picture of everything we passed by. After a few turns, we finally arrived to where the store was. The yellow color of the signboard said they sell fried chicken. I could even smell from the outside the spices the owner used to cook. The store had no glass walls, but it had a large window where we could take a peak of the inside. It was an old house, and it turned into a store a couple of years after the owner separated from h

Chapter 8
The moment I was back at the front of the store, I felt this sinister aura emanating from the inside. It made the hair on my skin stood alarming me about the danger that was occurring there. With no second thoughts, I rushed to the door and stepped inside as fast as my feet could do on an ordinary form. I wasn’t wrong about the uncertainty earlier. I found the owner choking Tristan off the floor. The tables beside them broke in half and broken glasses scattered around them. Tristan’s face was turning into red as he couldn’t breathe air. The man turned his head toward me and growled. There was something different about the owner. His eyes were bloodshot alike to what happened to the bald man before. I clinched my fist, thinking of the right thing to do. I was putting a friend now in danger. But if I made a move, it would reveal my true self. As Tristan tried to lift his hand to ask for my help, I realized I wasn’t alone there. Tristan passed out after that. I had Gavin on my back. As

Chapter 9
Everything seemed normal about me as I sat down on the floor, leaning on the side of the bed. But deep inside, I knew something had changed. I just couldn’t figure out what it was. It was something that resonated emptiness that I had not felt for so long. All I knew for sure was that when Gavin crosses my mind, I felt a pain in my chest. It had been days when I left him on the road after the witch appeared in front of me. Since that day, I haven’t left Tristan’s room because I was avoiding to see Gavin. I just felt like the moment I stepped out, he was there waiting for me. I glanced at the door when Tristan entered carrying a paper bag. He looked at me and his shoulder dropped after he sighed. “Stop making me worry. Ever since to other day, you’ve been acting like that. You don’t even want to answer my questions,” he said to me. “Aren’t you planning to go to school?” I shook my head. I didn’t want to tell him I didn’t have the urge to study. I would move to another city faraway fr

Chapter 10
The entire ride on the train was quite uneventful, with the constant silent rumbling and screeching of the train. I stayed quiet while my head wandered somewhere else back to where we used to live. Just like before, I always thought we would last there, but because I made the mistake of hurting one of my schoolmates, we had to move. After several years, it was going to happen again. I didn’t want to live in a new environment. I had a hard time adjusting last time. But just like before, I had no choice. My brother on my right fell asleep sitting down. He leaned his head on the cold iron bar. When I looked at him, I still couldn’t believe I am seeing my brother in person. I even told myself maybe it was just imagination. But no matter how hard I convinced myself, nothing really changed. I only stopped looking at him when the train stopped at the station where I need to get off. My brother didn’t wake up to the noise inside the train. He was still deep asleep as I stood up. I took a dee
