ONE STRANGE MAN [PART ONE] May 19, 2021 FINN [Finn Michael Torres | 28]      The sunlight coming from the window awakens me. I stared at the ceiling for a while before I got up and took my phone on top of the dresser. I looked at the time and saw that it was already 6:30 am. I usually wake up earlier than this because of my work. I turned to Zack and Gab and saw that they're still sleeping deeply. I don't want to wake them up yet, but I also don't want to go downstairs without them, especially without Zack. The thought of seeing Zack's grandma again makes me uneasy. But still, I don't have anything to do here anymore.  In the end, I decided to go down to searc

SANTI'S WORDS OF WISDOM May 19, 2021 FINN   "Chloe?" Zack muttered in disbelief upon seeing the face of her sister again. His body automatically rushed towards her and embraced her. "Z-Zackary?"  "Y-Yes it's me. I'm sorry if I don’t visit you frequently." Zack said with teary eyes while caressing the cheeks of her sister.  "W-wait, why do you look thinner than before? You're even much skinnier than me. Do you eat on time?" Zack asked worriedly while touching the arms of Chloe.  We were all surprised when Chloe suddenly yelped in pain because of what Zack did. Zack quickly withdrew and stepped back

SKELETONS IN THE CLOSETS [PART ONE] May 19, 2021  ZACK   I knew I'd crossed the line and wasn't thinking rationally, but I couldn't stop myself from exploding at them. Their portrayal of my grandfather insulted me as a stinking villain. Because I know my grandfather well enough to know that he isn't the one they think he is. Yes, I accept that he sometimes speaks unpleasantly, but this is due to him being oblivious to what he is saying. Regardless of all his imperfections, he's still a respectable, good man. I restrained myself from dwelling on what my grandfather had said to me. I know he didn't mean to harm my feelings. He was simply disappointed in me because I had become a failure to them, and his remar

REASONS WHY May 19, 2021 FINN We sat under a narra tree in front of their house. When I was still in his room, we heard the ruckus, especially the screams of Chloe and his grandma. Everyone of us was alarmed so, without hesitation I rushed outside and I was startled when I found him sitting on the floor puffing as if his lungs were lacking air. And when I approached him I never thought of bringing up the commotion that happened to them. Because I know that it was out of my league. Instead, he’s here sitting beside me while absentmindedly looking on the ground, his fingers crossed, while the anxiousness is evident in his face. And I am here contemplating when and where to start the conversation between us. Since I called him and went here he never uttered a word, maybe the fortuitous whirlwind of events really

A PLANMay 19, 2021ZACK “She killed herself. She drowned herself in this lake.” The second secret that I unveiled to Finn.It’s such a good burst of relief and it lessens the weight that I carry in my chest once I finally let out those things to someone. But the pain of my mother’s death and secrets will forever remain in my life.They said that when you get hurt you will never forget the pain that it caused you, but instead you’ll outgrow it, you’ll learn from it. But why is it different for me? Why do I always have to suffer in the same fucking pain and the same reason -- that she left me hanging filled with questions and agony? I felt my eyes sod as I reme
