The siren of the police moving away from the palace created a Doppler effect, as the sound slowly dissipated along the distance. 

I stared back at the ambulance bed, and Jaiden looked at me with a gentle smile. For some reason I can sense an uneasy expression in his face, "What's the matter with you two?" I asked Jaiden and Joseph who were suddenly avoiding my gaze. 

"Oh, is it about the spy thing? I already knew…  heard everything from Athena," I said casually. 

"Wait… then you must've heard about Athena's father," Jaiden said leaning forward towards me. 

I smiled at him and nodded, "I also heard about it…"

    "Manong Kokoy, just park the trike at the side…." I said as I went out of the vehicle."Naku, Mimi, are you really ok?" Manong Kokoy asked me.I gave him a silent nod and flatly answered him with a question, "Should I be alright?"I never gave it a second thought and went upstairs to see Natalie and Tatay at the doorstep. I fixed my shriveled hair and smiled with my busted lips.Seeing their expectant faces made me crestfallen. "What happened to you, did you get into a fight," Tatay asked, seeing my slightly beaten up face."It's nothing, Tatay," I said to make him less worried. "Anyway, Ate! What happened

    As I was thinking of my miserable situation, a knock resounded on my door, "It is me, may I come in?" a gentle voice called me.That time I knew right away that it was Jaiden who was on the other side of the door. I quickly opened it and saw a decently dressed man on my doorstep."What made you visit, aren't you busy with your duties in the ministry, you even had additional counseling sessions on the weekends," I asked, since I'm worried for him."Why does it seem like you don't want to see me?" Jaiden asked. "Besides, I was just ordained recently, so I don't have much work load for now. You can say that I'm still in the process of being a full-pledge Pastor.""Fine, whatever. So why

    The solemn ground whispered a comforting tone as the gentle winds passed by dragging the autumn leaves slowly descending on the grassy floor.It was the height of noon and the sun was shining brightly at the blue skies, staring down the tombstone erected below. For a single point, a fair maid stood in silence as she looked down the grave, etched with memories of the deceased."Mom and Dad, have you been well? Sorry I wasn't able to visit for quite a while now," The girl in a daunting uniform said as she stood up on a well-furnished grave.The wind blew gently once more, swaying the wisps of her hair. She placed a bouquet of Hydrangea flowers on the grave and gazed at the distance zooming towards a dignified man approaching her.

He gave me a dead look and answered, "Not quite….."From there, he started snapping his finger continuously, and with a sharp pause, he pointed at me then let out a word, "Aggressive! right… that's it. Especially this promotional poster…."I moved back involuntarily, and nearly fell backward over my seat, "Aggressive?

    "To what floor?" I asked, as my index finger hovered over the panel.Just to be clear, a new guy went into the lift a few seconds ago. To be honest, I kinda wished that he didn't make it to the barely closing elevator doors. More importantly, I hope he didn't see me mashing the buttons to make the doors close a little more faster.Anyway, today is the day of the interview. And I believe I've accomplished pretty much everything I needed. I finished saying farewell to my hometown, moving to a new place, and now I'm finally heading for a new job. However, that will all boil down to whether I will get hired or not.The single other occupant in the elevator pushed his glasses up his nose and gave this stern look, "Hi," he said flatly.

    THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER, A well thought of disaster in that matter. To be honest, the journey of writing this narrative had put me in a constant strain of what if scenarios. It is like exploring a new entire world without a single idea about the consequences the realm exhibits. And, as much as I hate to admit it, romance is a weakness I would rather omit. It is a reality that my virgin mind failed to navigate freely. To simply say, this story is a fraud— a slice of life drama advertising itself as a young-adult romance. I also do have some reservations in calling it an oversimplified chick-lit story. In the end, I decided to go the most logical route and face my unyielding fear to reconsider my abstinent views towards intimate correspondence.I knew that I needed to rekindle the lost flare of my hopeless romantic heart, and so I did.

    One thing I learned in life was never to live a lie, one or two can be forgiven, but more than that is too much. I also implore you not to rely so much in white lies. To tell you, it is the kind of shit that pulls you under if you don't use it right! Much like one of those myths everybody believes because of their fragile hearts. Trust me, living a life with a lie always does not end well, I'm one of those people who exploited it and ended up lost. And In case you are wondering why I'm investing my time in this monolog, Oh! I wish I could tell you. By the way, I'm Melissa Santiago, not much for a name, but Tatay loved to call me Mimi. I do not use it anymore thoug

    That time Joseph still didn't know that his Big Bro was already suffering from terminal illness, and had only a few more weeks to live. Mariano then tried his best to dispose of them in any way possible after failing the mission."The Messiah Group suddenly disappeared, some of its members fought back and died miserably, others ran away, while some got arrested. Big Bro died a few days after his illness got the best of him. I and some other members, on the other hand, got caught in a trap Mariano that set-up after trying to sneak into Big Bro's funeral.""Fortunately, I only got six months of imprisonment since they cannot get enough evidence to detain me for much longer, with that I remember what Big Bro told me about a suburban barangay in the north, so I tried to look as his stuff and find out that the place he
