Foolish... That was the word for what Zackary agreed upon. Gen has tormented him from her first request, he agreed with that because he was swayed by the moment. But the second request she made was done so casually, and yet, he barely had the mind to reject her.

Foolish... That's what he has become. Zackary mounted the steps with Damien following behind him. Gen has requested to have their second session at night.

Seriously, what was happening to him, it didn't even help that Bertha refused to give him accompany. She said her work hour ends at five pm and there was no way, she would sacrifice her time to be with, as she quote "someone impossibly crazy" Zackary had no choice but to ask Damien, although the big man's apprehensive demeanor was not missed, Zackary had to make do.

When they arrived in front of her door, Damien suddenly grabbed onto Zackary's left arm.

    Zackary took a sip of his tea while intently eyeing the old woman in front of him. She is wearing a black dress that hung loosely on her body, she looks frail, her skin is sagging and the laugh lines on her mouth are deep, creating permanent marks that remains visible even when she purses her lips. Her head is covered with long stands of grey hair, tied back with a black rubber band. She looks so small that the couch easily swallowed her frame."I ask you again doctor, do you believe in the human soul?" her voice sounded louder as she spoke the words."I don't know" he finally answered."What I'm about to tell you is of utmost importance and I need you to listen, I'm not asking you to believe, but to listen" the old woman began.Zackary, still exhausted from all the happenings nodded his head. He decided it's best to sit and listen than argue and put more strain on his aching head.The old woman leaned back on the couch, with her old shaky voice, s

    Ninety-five kilometres from Hospisyo Estrella.The club is ringing with wild sexy music, women in skimpy clothing walked and danced without a care in the world. Drunk middle aged women have their eyes pinned on the left side of the bar, amused by the three men dancing on the stage, who are wearing nothing more but a tight and uncomfortable looking leather brief. Their body covered with glitter and oil, dancing and enticing them to throw money on their feet.Angus felt like bile and vomit were threatening to come out of his mouth. The three women surrounding him are old enough to be his grandmothers. But that didn't seem to deter them from running their hands on his legs, arms, chest and anywhere they can lay a hand on. At some point, one of them raised her hand towards his manhood and stroked it a bit which sent him on his feet, shocked and near unconsciousness.The old woman just laughed and commented on how newbies are the best. That fresh meat was always wort

    Patrick stumbled on the streets as he tried to keep up with his friends. He stood from behind the shadows as Ram and Angus found themselves in a confrontation. At first Patrick wanted to reveal himself and help them out, but he debated whether it was best to face the lone man by three or let his two friends stand by themselves while he take the element of surprise. Patrick decided on the later. He wasn't able to hear what they were arguing about but as soon as the stranger left, his friends followed suit. He ran after them not wanting to lose sight of where they are headed.He was close enough to hear what the three of them are talking about. Suddenly Ram walked past the stranger and hit a full stop in front of him. Patrick heard his friend ask who the stranger was talking about. The stranger answered Mike Esguerra. When the name reached Patrick's ears he stiffened and took huge gulps of air. He felt his heart beat accelerate at a speed enough to drain his strength.Pa

    The 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?

    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. Throughout his days spent with Genelyn Calderon, Zackary noticed how she immediately pulls back whenever her past is brought up. It's as if she doesn't truly want to talk about it.9:32 PMWhat happened next? Zackary asked, after setting down his fork.Gen took another bite from her grilled meat before locking her eyes with the young doctor.************************************

    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

He has been staring blankly at a wall since they woke up. 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. Everything felt unreal. "Gen, what exactly happened to her? They said she's missing and so is Lovely. Why are we alive, why did she spare us?" Angus murmured.But his question received no response.Angus was told his wife was taken to a mental institution. He couldn't help but blame himself,

    Esther watched from the space between the dining room door and its frame. She saw everything, heard everything and for the last time, Esther cried. She recognized the contorted figure standing behind Carry. Her heart broke and her dreams shattered. The old house keeper silently walked towards her bedroom, closed the door and pulled out a nylon rope from her drawer. As she pulled her rocking chair towards the middle of the room, her door slowly opened and a dark shadow like matter slithered on the floor followed by a contorted figure.Esther smiled and without fear or hesitation, she walked up to the being. "It's alright love, no one can hurt you now" she whispered.The thing let out an ear splitting scream and wrapped its contorted arm around the house keeper's body. Esther did not flinch or took a step away. She let it hug her and watched how it turned away, leaving dark wet foot marks on the floor.(Wednesday, 2:

    As the coldness inside the room increased, so did his body. Mori can barely feel his fingers and toes, his lids felt like they were frozen in place. His eyes watered and salty liquid began to cascade down his cheeks.The weird obsidian liquid slithered up to his bed and as it reached his foot, a low chilly voice whispered into his ear. Mori tried to turn his head to the side, but it too, felt frozen in place."Do you believe?" the voice asked.Mori wanted to answer, but what came out is nothing more than a gurgling sound.The old man watched in astonishment as the liquid wrapped itself on his foot and slithered up his tighs, curling to his smotach, until it swaddled him completely.He felt his chest tighten as the liquid constrict around his body. His already labored breathing completely lost, as the foreign matter gave one last compression.He always wondered what death would be like. He never believed that winged beings will welcome him, o

    Thunder rumbled across the horizon, lightning flashed as rivulets of rain pellted on the roof of the Calderon mansion.Ram huffed and gave Zackary another punch on the cheek. The young doctor who was already stumbling from the first blow, fell on his knees."What did you do to him, you son of a bitch!" Ram yelled. Angus ran towards them to mediate, but was immediately caught by Mitch's man."Talk ashole!" Ram screamed angrily as he tried to kick Zackary who was already squirming in pain.Zackary, with his pride, wounded and body beaten, grabbed Rams right leg as his left tried to kick him, sending Ram out of balance and falling on the floor.As the two fought each other.
