2024-10-29 19:42:56The Hospital has seen darker days, but as Augustus Mori walked the Isle of his beloved building, he felt the tension mingling with fear floating dangerously in the air. No one said a word or raised any complaint upon his return but that in itself was bothering the veteran doctor.
His pride as a man of science, logic and reason is hanging in the balance of Genelyn Calderon's case. It is not uncommon for someone like him to go beyond the realm of reason. Many philosophers and man of science delved into the unknown, risking their reputation. Yet, he cannot sum up the courage to take that leap. It's not because he is afraid. It's because he is risking his name. His name that will remain upon his death. His words, his research, they are the only testament of his existence and if he risks a stain, a tarnish a brand of doubt on it, what would become of his legacy? What would remain of the name he risked so much to build?
But despite his internal battles. One thing remains abs

Nightfall, everything inside the room was illuminated only by a flickering florescent. Gen, still sitting beside Zackary couldn't help but thank the young doctor silently. The way his arms wrapped around her shaking form was enough to send a warmth she had long forgotten.How do you feel?" Zackary asked, breaking the silence between them. Mori had left him alone with Gen hours ago, leaving Zackary with only a nod as a parting gesture."I feel lost" Gen answered as she moved her body closer to him which he accepted by tightening his hold on her."I know this is a lot to take in Gen but it's for your own good.""Why are you doing this, why are you so nice to me?" she all of a sudden asked, and her question left him with a blank slate of reasonable response. Why is he doing it? He maybe, in his own way, doing it because she needed someone to be there. His years of experience as a gigolo not only taught him th

The evening has deepened and the cold strong breeze that usually whipped through Hospisyo Estrella began. The tree near Gen's window started its rhythmic dance while the howling sound from the wind accompanied by the swishing song of leaves and branches sent their melody to the two individuals sitting inside a dimly lit room.Zackary and Gen was in the middle of their dinner. He had asked Mori's permission to stay with Gen, dimming it necessary to stay with her while she was willing to talk about her past.

Rage Of Whispers Darkness My Old Lover
Mori stood by the fireplace of his small office. The night is deep yet his mind is still actively searching for answers. He believes Gen's subconscious has created a physical manifestation of her pains and longing, wrapped in one persona which Mori believes to be the entity she calls shadow. Mori had seen it. But it was brief and lacks proof. He longs to see it again, to show the world its existence, and prove that the human brain is capable of creating and projecting another life by means of our subconscious.A fraction, just a fraction of our brain is lent to us, and Mori believes he has found the purpose of the remaining side, it is not dormant like what others assume it to be.What if, its meant to control something bigger, to house something powerful, what if it's the cage to what humans refer to as SOUL? Is it possible that our subconscious is the portal to what we had long believed as heaven?When Zackary sent the v

Zackary and Delfin still had their gaze locked up on the ceiling, the chandelier was so grand, both men had never seen something like it. "Have you ever seen anything like this?" Delfin asked. Zackary shook his head "never in person" he replied absent-mindedly.The young teen took his eyes away from the ceiling to momentarily drink in the other furniture's inside the house. "Damn, if it was before, i would have shoved even their fork inside my pocket" he murmured. Zackary gave him a surprised look," what do you" he began, but his words fell incomplete as he remembered the life Delfin led before he became an employee of Hospisyo Estrella.

Their beds are positioned beside each other because the detectives from the city requested that they remained together, and to not leave town before the investigation is over."How are you holding up?" he asked. Angus did not answer, but acknowledged him with a smile."When this is all over, why don't you come with me, forget this place and leave everything behind."Whether Angus Severino wanted it or not, he bobbed his head in reply.
